Orange Flavoured

This compact yet functional holiday home is located at a rear section overlooking Ohakune’s rural carrot fields. On top of that it has panoramic views of MountRuapehu. The house was designed to make the most of the sun from the north-west and provide shelter from the chilly south-east winds. Entry and carport shelter the house from the street and neighbouring houses. The wall opening gives a perfect see through over the drive way so occupants are not completely isolated from their environment. The building opens up to the north and west sides, for sun and views. The sunny orange colour makes the house radiate. It’s used to outline the panoramic opening, emphasize the roof angle on the front soffit, front door and part of the carport screen. The outside of the bach has been clad in low maintenance vertical corrugated iron in a dark grey and silver colour.   Once inside the house you start to appreciate the icons of its surrounding, the outlook over the carrot fields and MountRuapehu with its snowcapt tops. Splashes of orange bring the interior to life. This compact bach has a simple layout but can accommodate two families easily. There are 2 similar double rooms, that share the en suite separating them. For the kids there’s a bunk bedroom with 3 built-in timber bunk beds and enough room for tv and other entertainment. The Orange Flavour holiday home represents good living and appetite shared with friends, celebrating the sunny side of life.
