Thorpe/ Walker Family Home. A family home perched on a hill in central Gisborne. Designed to a restricted footprint, the brief was to create a family home filled with light, to feel close to nature and embrace the views, as well as feeling spacious and practical. The large, strategically placed picture windows capture ever-changing ‘moments’ and allow light to flood the home all year round. Three spacious bedrooms are tucked into the eves to create a sense of comfort beneath the 8 meter stud height. Layers of textures and tones connect the spaces together with a sense of ease.
