Located on a quarter acre near the beach and surrounded by wildlife, the residents of this Taranaki home engaged Chris Bell Construction and BOON Architects to deliver a home that treads lightly on the land and fulfils the vision for their ‘forever home’.
Constructed by Chris Bell Construction and designed by Glenn Brebner and Milca Severo of BOON Architects, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Taranaki has been crafted with timelessness and environmental responsibility in mind.
“The budget and timeline were slightly elevated compared to some builds due to the high level of finishes employed and the intricate finishing involved,” says Joseph.
Hardwood flooring from Forté has been used for the mezzanine level.
The kitchen was designed, manufactured and installed by Glen John Kitchens and features hardwood cabinetry with fluted glass, a dark stained island bench and an open-plan design that connects with the dining area.
The space’s finishings take notes from the flooring’s natural textures and tones.
