Karangahake House floor plan
The Outdoor Room frames west-facing views of the Kaimai Range. “With timber-battened clear roofing above, it perfectly frames the forest views beyond, creating moments of uninterrupted connection and stillness with nature,” note the architects.
Entire walls fold away to further blur the distinction between indoors and out. The yellow Togo seating is from Ligne Roset.
Santiago plays drums as his cousin Sofia picks a guitar on the stage in Santiago’s module. Beneath the platform are two large drawers, each containing a mattress that can be removed and placed on the floor for sleepovers. The shelving is by USM Haller.
"I never thought a house would teach me so much,' Luisa says.
A squadron of Louis Poulsen PH5 lamps hovers in the kitchen. Knoll chairs surround a vintage wood table that Serge bought in Mexico in 2004.
The corner is the family’s favorite gathering spot—“a contemporary cave for three,” says Serge. Luisa’s module, with its cactus-lined terrace, is visible through the glass wall.
Luisa sits at an inflection point in the plan, which connects four modules—one for each family member plus one for the common areas—in zigzag fashion down a sloping site.
