Set on a terrace overlooking the Wairarapa Valley, Ruru Cottage was designed as a sister to Kahu Cottage, 100 metres away in the neighbouring paddock. Built for the brother of a longstanding client, this classic style small home was designed with, and built by, the owner himself. In an extra high wind zone, we wrapped the home in plywood and braced it heavily, keeping it solid without being over-engineered. Salvaged native timber, milled from a tree that fell on site, trims every door. Simple, considered choices, built to endure.
