Not many sites are as exposed as this, but those willing to take the risk in Wellington are often rewarded, as they are here, by stunning views and all-day sun. In addition to capturing views from virtually every corner of the house, the architect has given the owner warmth and protection in a simple but elegant shed. The flexible plan accommodates the owner’s enjoyment of entertaining. Elegant detailing and a rich materials palette express the craft with which this building has been created.
