Fernando House

Attention to detail is paramount in the success of this home, as its seamless flow fuses interior and exterior landscapes and allows the inherent warmth and character in the materials to define a reinvigorated sense of ’homestead’.

A secure gated entrance and a sweeping drive leads you in front of the classic pavilion style home that plays on simple modernist elements, fitting seamlessly into its private rural environment, set on 1.25ha of lush level lawns. The design, envisioned by renowned Red Architects, is based on a reduction of elements, creating a seamless, minimalist structure.

The exterior’s linear Cedar creates a distinctive design. The interior fixtures and fittings, including American Oak and imported porcelain tiling, are unique in detail and meld together to produce a timeless aesthetic that is evident throughout the home. Social and private spaces are coherently configured, integrated via the open-plan living areas with full height sliders and doors that capture a plenitude of light. Centrally positioned, the protected Alfresco provides another integral coming together room. The lounging areas provide mixed living spaces, from quiet reflection zones to a media room to sun-filled open-plan entertaining. The accommodation wing won’t disappoint, providing separation for the entire family. The primary suite has its own lounging retreat which flows through to the bedroom, a custom-fitted dressing area and ‘on point’ en-suite. The additional bedrooms are supported by a large main tiled bathroom and a powder room. Soak in the hot-tub, entertain in style, there is so much space for children to explore and play. The entire body of this property takes in its moody rural landscape, just breathtaking from dusk to dawn.

The low maintenance landscaping of natives complements the minimalist forms throughout the property. There are citrus trees and raised vegetable beds, even paddocks for the pets. The infrastructure is comprehensive and includes extensive garaging, parking bays and additional shedding. Heating options are dual ducted air-conditioning systems, electric underfloor heating in bathrooms and the home is double glazed throughout.

A magnificent expression of what a high-end property can offer, this edgy, modernist build has an awareness of architectural concepts and individual design. Positioned in an elite Tamahere enclave surrounded by good company, you’ll know you’ve arrived at something out of the ordinary.
