Our Open Home series continues at a show-stopper at Tairua

Sitting high on Mount Paku above Tairua is a small purple A-frame, which in some light looks silver and at oither times looks lilac.

Designed by Glamuzina Architects in conjunction with Dessein Parke, it has outstanding views and a dramatic monochromatic interior – and not surprisingly, it won the New HOUse category in our recent Here Awards.

Inspired alternately by Fire Island modernism and 1970s A-frames, it celebrates verticality, with a layered plan and plenty of nooks to escape to. “I’ve always been interested in how the roof form defines the space inside,” says Glamuzina. “You can have quite a small footprint but use the voume inside the roof to proivede changes in scale.”

It’s a brave little house, with a commitment to colour and form that is rare in this country. We look forward to seeing you there.
