A Small House in Wellington
Two main factors have influenced the planning of this house: a narrow frontage with neighbouring houses close on either side; and a site which slopes steeply towards a magnificent view of Wellington Harbour. The principal rooms have been placed on the first floor above street level to take full advantage of the view, and thoughtful planning has produced an internal arrangement which though compact still creates a generous impression of space.

To the street the house presents a crispness and simplicity of line which stresses its essentially urban character.

A broad recess gives emphasis to the entrance and useful protection from the weather.
