r+m's design reflects both the client's lifestyle and the leafy streamside setting. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, with living terraces that stretch from the house down to the lawn on the stream, a small cantilever timber landing from the lawn 'floats' over the sparkling stream waters.
A lap pool with water blades, an overhead structure, stone walls and columns as well as planting combine to create engaging living spaces outdoors. r+m's thoughtful and elegant layout beautifully reflects the house's architecture and interior living spaces.
The palette of planting evokes a sense of naturalness and the use of native species is inspired by the area's historic riparian biodiversity.
The material's robust nature comes through, with the sandblasted concrete, corten steel, west coast schist, and hardwood timber all left to weather naturally.
