Oratia House
By Matt Brew Architect
The site is located on an open but secluded section in Oratia, West of Auckland. Designed as a series of low horizontal forms, the house has been nestled into the hillside to follow the gentle slope of the site. The spaces have then been arranged around two courtyards – one the vehicle entry court and the other a sheltered living court, between the living and bedroom pavilions. The building forms have then been teased apart from each other, allowing a series of axes and gaps to develop between the spaces. These gaps are both internal and external, allowing the landscape to permeate into the residence.
