Set in the established tree lined Heretaunga area of the Hutt Valley, this understated traditionally styled home has its roots in 'arts and crafts' and cottage traditions. The home has an air of peacefulness and privacy, maintains an openness to the garden and the views across the golf course to the west while enjoying the lushness of the substantial trees that embrace the site.

The simple two storey building forms feature gable roofs and traditionally styled bay windows complemented by plastered cladding. Adaptation and detailing of modern building materials in subtle ways so as to be reminiscent of traditional home construction adds to the elegance of a home that is otherwise contemporary in its appointment.
