This is a simple 2700 square foot residence in a 20 cent site amidst a plush housing development here in Wellington. The site is moderately steep and the driveway swings around the site so one enters from a higher level.
The upper level consists of the living room, dining room, a spacious kitchen and a guest bedroom. The living room fitted with accordion doors opens out onto a deck 10 feet deep.
The lower level has a humongous family room, the master bedroom suite and an auxiliary bedroom. The master bedroom suite has a private study inbuilt, a comparatively larger bathroom with a jacuzzi bay with its own skylight. This suite also features a fairly large bay window that provides for a cosy nook overlooking the beautiful valley ahead. The auxiliary bedroom features a bathroom which opens out into a private green space for better natural light and ventilation.
The lower level is at a distance of 7 feet from the stone retaining wall. This leaves an open to sky space with a lawn, potted plants and ivy and other climbers growing on the stone wall; thus giving the family room light from three sides making it airy and well lit despite being tucked below. This space also opens out onto the lower lawn from where one can get to the upper lawn via stone stairs built into the retaining wall. This lower lawn also overlooks the splendid valley below.
Note to all: The computer generated renders just show various planes and in reality with all the materials, landscaping and lush surrounding it ought to look way groovier.
