VILLA HURNI, BLENHEIM, NEW-ZEALAND

Shelter against the strong winds and flexible construction against the earth quakes were the leading factors in the design for this villa , situated in the beautiful hills of the Marlborough District.

The floor plan shows two alternating parts, creating two courtyards on either side of the house , reflected in the curved roof.

The construction was entirely from timber on site, with laminated roof beams.
