INTRODUCING
BENSEMAN RD
WHERE ARCHITECTURE AND NATURE COEXIST
The key function underlying the design of this home is based around two wings of a New Zealand Eagle, Kāhu, in flight.
The right wing facing North East is for sleeping and waking up to the rising sun. The North West wing, the left wing, is for living and connecting with family and friends.
The concept design was developed by David Loughlin Architects and the detailed design by Rubix Architecture.

“Having Silas involved in the architectural design process, I believe, streamlined the whole build project. When there was an issue, Silas would raise it early on and create an alternative solution that was often better than the former.”
