Known as 'Cantilever House', O'Neill Architecture can be justifiably proud of their triumph here. Given a 'no holds barred' freedom by the clients, a modern sculpture is perfectly positioned on a glorious 2,479sqm site taking full advantage of a beautiful broad section of Fendalton's iconic Wairarapa Stream.
Quietly elegant, yet strikingly dramatic, this simple series of minimalist pavilions sit in equally as minimal grounds where a sweeping driveway curves through terraced lawns winding down to huge basement garaging. A wide elevated 'runway' heralds arrival to the front door strutting past the dynamic three 'prongs' sunk 9m underground supporting the master bedroom wing above. This is a house where substance and style cohabit. With engineered foundations and a 1m deep basement concrete floor, the builders nicknamed it Ironman House! Exterior materials and colours enhance the simple composition, and the muted colour palette continues inside, allowing the architecture to speak for itself.
Accommodation of around 700sqm is contained in three forms, linked by a light filled, high void entrance with timber stairs soaring upwards. Five bedrooms include a downstairs suite, but once you discover the private leafy outlook from the master above, complete with dressing room and exquisite bathroom, the decision will be easy! The hub of the home is undoubtedly a glass pavilion containing the kitchen and living with full height electronic sliding doors opening to the north and south terraces. Private and sheltered, the pool and spa have the stream as a magnificent backdrop. Lume Design was engaged to work the entire interior, keeping the colours and textures simple with bespoke joinery and elegant Italian tiles complementing the Architect's use of Timaru Bluestone inside. Gaggenau appliances and Blum fittings in the kitchen and scullery lift these spaces to extraordinary along with extras too numerous to detail here. There is a media room, and a dedicated Pilates and Yoga studio with a view from picture windows certain to keep you focussed! A lift from the six car plus basement up to the scullery is a bonus for the groceries! Technology reigns supreme with an unrivalled AV system together with sophisticated Home Automation control at your fingertips. Heating and Air Con are ducted throughout and there is underfloor heating for those colder months.
This is without doubt sublime architecture in a superior location. Available for the first time and only because our sellers wish to downsize and spend more time at their Central Otago holiday home. Could Cantilever House be Fendalton's finest modern masterpiece? We think it might be. Come and see if you agree!
