This cute Kiwi house makes a perfect bach. The charming Akaroa's living room opens onto a sheltered area and is designed for outdoor living with a view.

This massive home offers luxurious living, entertainment and relaxation spaces. Four huge bedrooms occupy one end of the house, while a spacious living area stretches out at the other. A sheltered deck opens off the family and living rooms, for outdoor living with privacy, and another opens off the dining room creating seamless indoor/outdoor flow.

The ultimate beach house, or first home, the Argyle is flanked by large decks that open from every room on two sides. Surprisingly spacious, the innovative design focusses on bringing the vista in. The double sided fireplace makes the patio area cosy in winter with pergolas for added protection, so you can enjoy outdoor living year round.

Designed around a central atrium, this home is spacious and elegant yet conveniently compact. The innovative design brings the outdoors in, with the living area opening onto a roomy deck on all three sides, and an outdoor fireplace at the front.

The Aspiring cuts an impressive silhouette, with high peaked roofs and windows that stretch to the ceiling. Open entertaining spaces are separated from the quiet study and privacy of the bedrooms. Wedged between the two wings, an expansive family room opens straight onto a deck shielded from the elements.
