The architecture of Hunter House was largely shaped by the site itself. Its long, narrow proportions determined the linear configuration of the building, while two of the most attractive views are located at opposite ends of the property. As a result, the key spaces of the house, the living room and the primary bedroom, open toward these two directions.
Height became another important tool for responding to the surroundings. With every increase in elevation, the views toward the mountains become more expansive. For this reason, the living room is raised above ground level, while the primary suite is positioned on the second floor. This allows the house to take full advantage of the site's views while also defining its distinctive silhouette.
At the center of the elongated volume, a subtle recess creates space for an outdoor terrace. Sheltered by the geometry of the house, it offers a greater sense of privacy and opens toward the only truly secluded side of the property. The terrace becomes a pause within the linear composition, connecting the interior spaces with the surrounding landscape.
The character of the house therefore emerges directly from the conditions of the site: its elongated proportions, two opposing view corridors, changes in elevation, and the need to create a private outdoor space.
Fibre-cement panels complete the exterior expression. Their clean, contemporary appearance emphasizes the geometry of the building while helping Hunter House stand apart from its surroundings, an important consideration for a property designed as a rental home.
