Korokoro Bush House is a two-story house with bedrooms upstairs and living spaces below. Located on a steep hillside in Lower Hutt, New Zealand, the 169-sqm (1,819-sqft) home was designed by Parsonson Architects in 2017.
A covered walkway steps down beside the garage leading to the front door with diagonal views out to the north facing deck, lawn and hills beyond. From the entry, passage through the house follows the line of the hillside in a procession of gentle steps down to the main living spaces, that look over the valley and wrap around a private north facing deck.
The house is designed as a private and peaceful retreat with colouring and materials that comfortably sit amongst the verdant surroundings. In contrast the garage door becomes like a lantern lighting up at night.
