the formal living area and the dining room
to provide an easy indoor-outdoor flow,”

division between the living areas.”
Space is maximised on the upper level,
which has two generously sized bedrooms,
a large bathroom and an extra-special loft
space above the garage. This could be a

For peace of mind, the exterior is clad
in highly durable Linea weatherboards.

Maori word for grace.
