Inspired by the timeless forms of rural architecture, this barn-style home is a striking example of how clever design can embrace local development restrictions while creating a bold and functional living space. Its long, lean form is deliberately simple, offering a contemporary take on the traditional woolshed aesthetic.
The defining feature of the home is its dramatic monolithic roof plane, which rises from a domestic-scale 2.4m stud height in the northeast to an impressive 5.5m station-style woolstore profile in the southwest. This soaring façade, which greets the road, establishes a commanding presence while maintaining harmony with the surrounding rural landscape.
Designed for both practicality and impact, this home seamlessly integrates modern comforts within a form that pays homage to Wairarapa’s agricultural heritage.
