There’s no maddening mystery here. Light-fi lled, open-plan living is at the heart of this exceptionally updated family home. A collection of internally focused rooms has been transformed into a fl ow of stylish spaces, beautifully connected to the outdoors. The veranda level has been raised for easy access to a generous wraparound deck – and the owners are, indeed, rapt. Good shelter and coverage maximises time outdoors in Wellington’s changeable climate.
Too small for the home cook’s big ideas, the existing kitchen was swapped for a more modern model. Stylish and spacious, with views to the north and west, it’s a relaxed space to indulge a passion for cooking and entertaining. A small scullery with plenty of storage hides all manner of sins. A clean, simple palette of materials keeps this domain light and open.
The four-bedroom home now has two bathrooms, enhancing the 239sqm floor plan. A separate guest toilet is tucked under the stair landing and accessed via the laundry to ensure privacy and separation from the living spaces. Clever thinking all round.
