POANTA HOUSE, BAY VIEW, NAPIER.

This new house build for designer GDC Consultants features floor to ceiling double glazed glass in the living area to connect the interior seamlessly to the rural setting outside.

An oversized 3.15m stud creates a sense of luxury and space in this compact 120sqm home, where polished concrete floors maximise passive heating in winter and bifold doors and windows provide cooling airflow during hot Hawke’s Bay summers.

Built with structural steel, celcrete panel system, craft stone schist and Abodo Vulcan vertical shiplap boards for exterior cladding, this unique rural home is designed and built to bring the outdoors in.
