Once it was a driveway leading to an existing house. Now with some clever calculations and planning, there’s a new home at the top of the site. And there’s still ample access to the original home. Centered in the heart of Lower Hutt, the new build is well positioned within walking distance of all major amenities. Step into the ground floor and enjoy open-plan living and all-day sun. The kitchen, which is dressed in black, is connected to the living area – a proud place from which to entertain indoors, if the outdoor living area is affected by the weather. The two-storey design makes efficient use of space – you’ll find the laundry discreetly tucked away under the stairs and stacked sliders lead to the main outdoor area. Design ingenuity in this compact home carries on upstairs, where you’ll find two large bedrooms, plus a study that could accommodate an overnight guest. A well-appointed bathroom serves this area, while a guest bathroom serves the downstairs. A sharp contemporary look is achieved on the exterior, thanks to the contrasting use of cedar on black Stria.
