Embracing its sloping site as keenly as its architect owners, this pared-back Passive House marks a long-time homecoming.
The sheltered, north-facing site overlooks the Southern Alps' snow-capped peaks. On the east side, a green door is a joyful welcome to the lower level, which comprises the main house.
The wedge-shaped design follows the angle of the hill.
A light-filled living, kitchen, dining area faces north.
The living area is bright and warm.
The living, kitchen, and dining area extends onto a deck.
Joyful pops of colour are dotted around the home.
Deep greys are calming in the bedroom.
