Korokoro Bush House by Parsonson Architects

The Korokoro Bush House is a beautiful modern home designed by Parsonson Architects. It is located in a stunning setting in New Zealand. The house sits on a steep slope beside the Korokoro stream, offering breathtaking views of the Wellington Harbour through the hills. The home is inspired by mid-century modern style and features 1,819 square feet of contemporary living spaces.

The house is located at the end of a narrow road on a steep slope, offering views of a forested valley and the Korokoro stream, with vistas of Wellington Harbour through the rolling hills. It is a two-story home with bedrooms on the upper floor and living areas downstairs.

A paved walkway leads from the garage to the front door, offering diagonal views of the northern terrace, grass, and hill slopes. The entrance into the home follows the contour of the slope, through a few steps down to the main living areas which offer views of the valley and frame the private northern terrace.

The house is designed as a tranquil retreat with a color palette and materials that harmonize comfortably with the abundant natural surroundings. In contrast, the garage door acts like a lantern, illuminating the evening.
