Another Remuera Home SOLD by Steve Koerber.

Fitting like a glove into the side of Remuera's 34,000-year-old volcano, Mount Hobson, this new residence is a work of art with zen-like seclusion, views, and separate accommodation for family and guests. It's a magical place where you can relax and breathe.

Architect Megan Edwards brought the concept to life with rich timber paneling, warm interiors, and a profusion of glass showcasing the views of land and sky. The design pays homage to mid-century modernism and the work of the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Impeccable craftsmanship and many artisan features add to the authenticity, with the inspired use of texture and tone throughout creating a feast for the senses.

The main living, dining, and kitchen space is flooded with sun and light all day. Walls of glass doors on either side open up to create a garden pavilion during summer, while the fire and central heating keep things warm and cosy during winter. The scullery also opens out to the garden, which has direct access to the Mountain's summit for dog walking and childs' play.

Award-winning landscape designer Xanthe White has utilised native planting with volcanic rocks; anchoring the home to the side of the mountain. An abundance of Totara, Titoki, Karaka, Pungas, and Dichondria complement uncommon specimens including a Smoke Bush and a majestic Breadfruit Tree.

Accommodation expands and contracts to cater to the comings and goings of couples with teens, boomerang kids, or guests. In addition to the main house, the property also offers a freestanding fully self-contained Minor Dwelling (with carport) that could also serve as an oversized home office.
