A house inspired by the New Zealand landscape
I can't recall how I came across the website of Auckland, New Zealand, based architects Fearon Hay, but it was a happy find... one look at the Coromandel House and I was hooked.
The house is beautifully linked to its site and landscape. In fact, architects Jeff Fearon and Tim Hay conceived of the house and landscape design together as an integrated whole. The plan assimilates indoor and outdoor living spaces with window walls which slide away to open the house to the extensive decks and patio spaces.
Firm: Fearon Hay Architects
I dug a bit and found that the house was featured in a book called of Beach Cottages by Ana Christina Canizares, and also found (via New Zealand Edge) that the Coromandel House was featured in Wallpaper* a while back.
