Garage & Wet Area
From the outside the garage is as striking as the rest of the house. Strong bands of dark stained hardwood alternate with bands of sandblasted glass to form the independently controlled doors. These merge seamlessly with the shutters of the bedrooms above them to make a strong visual statement to anyone approaching from the street entrance of the property.
However, it is inside the garage that it becomes unusual. Like in much of the house, cleverly thought out dual functions are possible because of the care taken with the planning of the uses of a coastal property. Not only is parking for two cars amply provided for, but because the garage can be cut off from the rest of the house while still containing a well equipped kitchen, bathroom and laundry, it provides the perfect teenage party venue. Here fun can be had by teenagers of all ages while the house itself remains safely contained.
Also, in the time honoured tradition of Kiwi summer houses near the sea, this area can be used as a self-contained ‘sleep-out’ for those guests who arrive unexpectedly when the main house is full to overflowing.
