For the first time, architect Guy Tarrant's personal Courtyard House in Pt Chevalier is on the market. This acclaimed home, built on a unique rhomboid section, won the prestigious NZIA Sir Ian Athfield Award in 2017.
The design creates a private, resort-like oasis with a central courtyard and pool. This single-level, three-bedroom home offers tranquil living with beautiful light and a strong connection to the outdoors, making it ideal for downsizers or families.
Light is very important in this home.
Inside, the home is relaxing, and welcoming.
All the rooms in the house look onto the central courtyard and the swimming pool.
The home wraps around the site, and pushes into a tricky corner, maximizing space left for the courtyard.
A curved wall in the corner of the dining room, takes in the shape of the site.
The gardens are mostly outside, a gift to passers-by that softens the brick.
Friends tell Millar the home has a resort feel.
