Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects collaborated with the design studio Paul Rolfe Architects on a guest house in New Zealand. The guest house offers accommodation for journalists, wine distributors, and travelers. It was built on the site of an old house that burned in 2009. The house has a large glass facade and automatically adjusted wooden blinds. The architects deliberately oriented the building toward the beautiful vineyards. You can dine on the terrace with a landscape-like view and a glass of wine. Two stainless-steel walls hold the structure together. Despite the modern form, the building has a rustic facade, partly through the use of wood. In this way, the house becomes part of its environment and traditional architecture.
Guest house in New Zealand delights with a cozy interior
Inside the guest house in New Zealand, everything feels warm and welcoming. The warm atmosphere is created by wood-paneled walls. Zigzag panels separate the living and dining rooms from the hallway. One wall of this room is made entirely of glass. Large sliding doors create a seamless connection between inside and outside. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor; wood blinds offer privacy.
