Limestone boulders are interior feature of dramatic ‘red house’

The other key feature of this site in Golden Bay is the Takaka limestone, which has been incorporated into the house.

Stairs at the entry climb around large limestone boulders, enhancing the sense of arrival.

Trevor Henderson Architects worked with the landscape, not against it.

This is one of two living areas - all the rooms feature extensive glazing.

Timber floors feature in some areas of the house.

Limestone boulders are even a feature of the pool.

Tucked away among the trees, the house has proved the perfect retreat for the Campbell family - they are only selling to be closer to an international airport so they visit children and grandchildren in Australia more easily.
