Seatoun Heights House is a project designed by Parsonson Architects in 2013. The house sits on a steep site above Seatoun Heights Road, perched above the harbor in Wellington, New Zealand.
The bedroom level is excavated back into the hillside forming a base to the upper more, open and light, living level. The bedroom level undulates in and out, allowing light in and views out, giving each bedroom a different character and aspect. Clad in dark vertical corrugated iron it anchors the form into the site and is intended to develop a relationship with the established trees.
The lighter form of the living level above flows across the bedroom level wrapping around an existing small flat lawn and garden to the northwest of the house. The floor level steps down towards the lawn and allows views back through the house and out to the harbour beyond.
