The Journey of Designing a Home in the Mountains of New Zealand (House Tour)

- The Gatehouse by architecture firm Patterson Associates Architects and interior design practice Sonja Hawkins Design depicts the journey of designing a home in the mountains of New Zealand. The Local Project’s house tour illustrates how this dynamic house near the base of the famous Remarkables mountain range and its complex build rise to the exemplary topography whilst being sympathetic to the surrounding rural fabric.
The journey of designing a home as compelling as The Gatehouse is nuanced, as is the decision to build such a bold home. The architecture and interior design were conceived holistically by Andrew Patterson and Sonja Hawkins, and as such, the house is a seamless blend of materials and ideals with a showstopping staircase crafted from timber and steel. The home consists of two buildings - one stone and one timber - and in the house tour, the architecture and interior design are presented against the backdrop of New Zealand’s incomparable landscape, including the mountain range in the distance and golf course nearby.
In the journey of designing a home, The Gatehouse draws on medieval influences in its interpretation of a portcullis - a historical architectural feature best described as a rising door or enclosed outdoor room typically found at the entries of castles or medieval estates. This gateway, crafted from timber and steel, leads to the custom staircase, which corkscrews through the stone building. The thick oak treads cantilever without a centre pole; “stairways to heaven should float,” Andrew comments.
Beyond this, the kitchen and shared family areas unfurl to the views of the landscape and mountain range beyond. Central to the journey of designing a home, the kitchen is both a social and functional space for the family. It features a full suite of Fisher & Paykel appliances integrated into timber cabinetry and views to the surrounding environment. With a large island bench and hidden scullery, there is ample room for food preparation, and the Fisher & Paykel appliances heighten the cooking experience.
The Local Project’s house tour illustrates the complexities involved in delivering such a resolved build, and the journey of designing a home in New Zealand’s incomparable landscape. The details are beautifully executed, the views perfectly captured, and there is much merit in this. Yet, at its very core, The Gatehouse is just as its name suggests, a dwelling that is “protected, quiet and all about people,” as architect Andrew describes - not only hitting but exceeding its seemingly humble brief.

“Within constraints can be tremendous freedom,” is a beautiful mindset
What a fantastic house. Congratulations to the lucky owners
It really is!
Local Project always delivers! Been here since the beginning and I’m proud of how much you’ve accomplished. 😇
Thank you so much! 😇
What a great home. The simplicity of the look belies the complexity of putting that altogether. Very well done.
This could said about your project: Simply Elegant. But to put emphasis on each word: Simply but, Elegant! Andrew and Sonya, what a collaboration. I have a feeling many of your projects will be featured on Local Project.
Jaw dropping. Stunning! Incredible! Standard-setting. Unique. Must be one of the best designs and properties ever featured on the channel. This is a 'home'. Thank you so much for bringing this amazing property to the channel.
You people make me hate my home-and I think I live in a pretty snazzy place, lol. So beautiful. Wonderful video.
Great work, simple palette and form.....also nice having a client with a chiller full of veuve clicquot !
I see we have one commenter who wants to see more of Andrew, and another who wants more walk-through...
Seems like you've got the balance about right! 😊
The best project, l have ever seen!
As always, beautiful presentation and beautiful house.
Magnificent! Kudos to the one who achieve a remarkable balance between simplicity and sophistication of this home. 🥰🥰
This is so beautuful! Production of these videos are always flawless and the houses are stunning. Love the interplay between the two "halves"
Amazing Designing and good HOME TOUR
Love the exterior...the wall especially...its like an art 😊😊😊
Another amazing TLP home!
Glad you enjoy it!
Beautiful House, buut the tennis court 😂😂🙈
My thoughts exactly🫣😂
Stunning!
Also it's funny how fast I get used to NZ's es thanks to Taskmaster panel show :D
Really nice!
Es hermosa, la unión de materiales es cálida. Funcional y acogedora propiedad. Bella en su exterior, íntima y amable en su interior. Gracias
I love this!
It’s beautifully done and you could drop it anywhere in Canada and it would look like it belongs
True... but just you try and steal our New Zealand homes and you will find out how protective we are!
(Besides, have you any idea how heavy our stone is?) 😊
@@PiefacePete46 we will take inspiration from it 😉
Sound quality’s great this time, but I would’ve liked to have seen more of Andrew
Definitely. Andrew is a big guy. Lot to see.
Superb 👏🏻
I have a love/hate for that natural floor shown at 4:15 I love the natural look and herringbone looks so cool, however my practical brain wont shut up. I think having the stool legs get stuck as I move the stool would drive me nuts, not to mention a requirement for wearing shoes in the house. Overall though, I like the space.
❤❤❤
Beautiful home ...How ever did the stair with no barrier from falling get signed off by council ?
That would make me nervous, personally! Very cool concept, though.
The elegant simplicity of the stair completely conceals how difficult it must have been to achieve.
Неймовірно прекрасно
I consider this kind of floor (made of uneven bricks) very dangerous. It is easy to trip and get injured.
Where are the SkyLights from?
Fisher Pykel will not seal their dishwasher circuit boards nor do they warranty them. Planned obsolescence. They fail within a year and your investment is lost.
Na to nemám peníze...
Ani když prodám dům...
To budu muset ještě hooooooooodne vydělat.
They say God is in the details and this one is an example.
I like the house but I honestly don't see anything medieval in it. To me it looks like a modern farm house. The use of stone on the walls and floors and timber look very rustic. It's a nice color palette, it's very restrained and yet still warm and elegant
Rather than the property being "Medieval", I felt the reference related to the gatehouse style of entry, where people with differing reasons for accessing the interior did not have to interact.
@@PiefacePete46 maybe you are right! Though, I felt that they extended that term to the austere design of the property
Too much jibber jabber. Not enough walk through allowing the house to speak for itself.
Such a long fisher & paykel ad
Andrew, I felt the same way. I don’t know anything about the brand, but didn’t hear anything about why this specific brand addressed a need that others couldn’t. So it makes me wonder if they got the appliances for free in exchange for featuring them and baselessly talking them up without sharing any specifics as to why. Makes me doubt the integrity of the CZcams channel a bit.
They are a NZ appliance brand, no doubt they will have financial incentive to place such heavy focus. Just skip through the vids lol I've never watched it complete@@asthecrowflies1411
I did not find it overly intrusive or offensive... many CZcams videos carry advertising in some form.
I was traumatised by the ghastly appliances@@PiefacePete46
@@asthecrowflies1411😊❤😊❤😊😊😊😊
ну ни хрена не вписалась очередная бездуховная коробка в ландшафт
ты просто не шаришь
I could do better than that.
I checked out your CZcams channel, but it looks like you haven't finished it yet.
If it's going to be better than this, I am really looking forward to seeing it!
@@PiefacePete46 you know it's true, that's why you're pressed
