Hills Home - Cambridge

Set within the rolling hills east of Cambridge, this rural residence is carefully oriented to the north to capture sun, views, and the rhythms of the surrounding landscape. The home comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and dual living spaces, with a strong emphasis on relaxed family living and seamless connection to the outdoors.

A contemporary interpretation of a traditional form, the design is anchored by a familiar gable roofline, reworked with a more refined, modern edge. Brick veneer is paired with metal wall cladding to create a grounded, textural palette that feels both enduring and contemporary, while also allowing the building to sit naturally within its rural context.

At the heart of the home, raked ceilings lift the main living spaces, introducing volume, light, and a strong sense of openness. This spatial generosity flows outward to covered outdoor living areas, extending everyday life into the landscape and framing views across the site.

A swimming pool completes the setting, reinforcing the home’s focus on leisure and lifestyle. The result is a balanced composition of tradition and modernity—comfortable, light-filled, and firmly connected to its hillside environment.

Drift Design Studio is an established residential architectural design studio based in the beautiful town of Cambridge, New Zealand, providing a design service to the Waikato and surrounding areas.
