Ōhaupō Home

Set in a rural lifestyle landscape near the Waikato township of Ōhaupō, this expansive five-bedroom residence is designed to take full advantage of its elevated outlook and wide-reaching views. The home balances scale and restraint, delivering generous family living with a calm, grounded architectural presence.

The layout includes three bathrooms, dual living zones, and four-car garaging, supporting both everyday functionality and entertaining on a larger scale. Formally, the design is modern and composed, yet softened through materiality and proportion so it settles comfortably into its rural setting rather than dominating it.

A low-pitch roofline and clean, horizontal massing establish a sleek profile, while a refined palette of rendered plaster, vertical timber weatherboards, feature stone, and metal profile roofing adds depth and texture. The result is a home that feels robust yet refined—anchored to its site, responsive to its views, and carefully detailed to age gracefully within the landscape.
