AI summary
Architect Guy Tarrant's personal Courtyard House in Pt Chevalier, Auckland, is on the market for the first time. Built in 2017, this landmark home won the prestigious NZIA Sir Ian Athfield Award for its innovative design on a unique rhomboid-shaped section.
The single-level, three-bedroom home is built around a central courtyard and pool, creating a private, light-filled oasis. Now empty nesters, the owners are downsizing, offering a unique opportunity for families or couples.
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.
