Austin Ward Heights, Nelson - Designed by David Todd
Clad with texture-coated Harditex and a Monier tile roof, this ridge-top dwelling gains views both to the north and south. A design promoting the vertical, rather than horizontal, enables main living areas to look out both ways from the same view-point. The houses "L" shape creates a sheltered outdoor area away from southerly winds while a north-east corner consevatory (out of view) allows solar-gain to warm the living areas early.
