Ngāhere Hou

Ngāhere Hou is a covenanted property at the head of Kenepuru Sounds in the Marlborough Sounds. 

The client called for a two-bedroom house plus a separate guest room with a bathroom, off the grid, taking in the views to the head of the Sound and West along Kenepuru to Pelorous Sound. They liked caves to soften the space they lived in.

The design response addresses the challenges and cost of building over 2.5 hours each way to Blenheim.
