Soak up the sun inside or out
– this modern Omokoroa home
is awash with natural light.
White walls and polished con-
crete floors ramp up the natural
illumination as it floods into
the north-facing living spaces.
The cleverly designed home
won the Silver Award 2016 for
Future Proof Building in the
$500,000-$650,000 category.
The spacious, contempo-
rary kitchen is designed for
those who love entertaining.
Positioned between the dining
space and alfresco living, the
central island keeps the cook
connected to the action. A
soaring 4.4m-high ceiling cre-
ates a dramatic sense of space.
Corner glass sliders open wide,
effectively eliminating a whole
wall and allowing the interior
to become one with the out-
door room. Here, full-height
windows create a pleasant
cross breeze. When you’d just
rather stay in, the attractive gas
fire – with its feature surrounds
– forms an eye-catching focal
point in the lounge.
The fully insulated RibRaft
floor with heat pump also
keeps the home snug and
warm. Four bedrooms, two
well-appointed bathrooms, a
computer nook and a scullery-
laundry make this a functional
and family-friendly home.
This page: A dramatic gable, extra-
high ceiling and white interiors
are leading features of this home
that’s all about capturing the sun.
The contemporary, well-connected
house won the Silver Award in the
Future Proof Building $500,000 –
$650,000 category in the Master
Builders House of the Year Awards.
The house is clad in Rockcote and
Linea weatherboard and has a 265m 2
floorplan.
