This farmhouse created by Pattersons Associates, located in New Zealand, responds to the environment as a fortress enclosing a luxury sanctuary for family living. The site conditions presented a challenge, specifically the need to protect from the wind. The external walls are made of concrete in a layered system of vertical tanalized battens that almost look like weathered copper plates, creating a kind of moisture-locking system. The home reflects its owner’s robust outdoor lifestyle (raising sheep!), and the atrium with pool is a nice feature to have.

Very cool. I lived and worked as an interior designer in Auckland for 4 years and never heard of these guys…but I must say the design sense is pretty great in the little land down under. Thanks for sharing.

Acres and acres of green to one side; the beautiful blue sea on the other. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous. Yes – I’d love to live there. Who wouldn’t?

This is lovely, I would love to be there too. But, I feel the lighting design could have been better.
