Situated overlooking Waimea Inlet this house is a two-in-one. A 250 square metre family home with a 2 bedroom guest house under a single sprawling roof structure. The two dwellings are connected by a deck in between and have landscaped steps down to a pond viewing platform. This low-slung design is intended to have little impact on the landscape and sits comfortably within it's site. Sustainable design principles were employed with solar panels, triple glazed windows and a mechanical fresh air ventilation system.
Redbox Architects are an energetic, tight-knit team working on a wide range of building sizes and typologies including education, residential, multi-residential, commercial and public projects.
We are passionate about architecture and all the process entails, and believe that like many things, it comes down to the people. We seek to get the right people involved in a project at the right time to ensure a smooth and fulfilling process.
We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with our clients to take on their ideas and provide our own insights to build on that. Our design work develops organically and we strive to find a balance between beauty, sustainability, compliance, buildability and budget.
We are problem solvers at the end of the day and love nothing more than finding the optimum solution for a particular site and brief.
