Tawa 2007

The Fyvie Avenue house occupies what was the lower garden of an established Tawa hillside property.

This infill dwelling exploits its native tree setting and enjoys excellent sun and views without intrusion by or on neighbours. Designer Michael Bennington-Barr explains the design concept as a simple main volume which divides the site along the contour, proving opportunities to open onto private outdoor space on two levels.

Corner glazing spanning two storeys further accentuates the sense of connection with outdoors from the spacious upper floor living rooms.
