Here’s an interesting house just coming off the Organon drawing board. A house for a quiet Matakana valley, overlooking a stream. Private. Open. Sunlit. A small spot of paradise, really.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
interesting design, how do you propose to minimise water ingress into the bowl, and where is the north face bowl omission to allow sun into the living areas in the winter time?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteThe earth berms aren't continuous around the whole house--they're used to mask neighbours, allow views INTO eye-level gardens and lift the view up and out to the surrounding hills.
The north face opens up to the nearby stream, which you'll be happy to hear is downhill of the house.
What exterior cladding are you using for the build?
ReplyDeletewhy is there a giant donkey out front? you caan see its ears sticking up at the apex of the roof. It;s not a new house for the PM is it?
