Step Inside A Roger Walker Original
tucked away in a private, sunny setting and surrounded by
established gardens, this striking home showcases the visionary design of roger
walker. playful and idiosyncratic, the home’s bold geometry and inventive
layout create a captivating arrangement of spaces and roofs, enhanced by large
circular windows and distinctive portholes that are hallmarks of walker’s
architectural style. a carefully considered palette of stone, timber, and tile
adds richness and texture — reflecting walker’s creative imagination and his
departure from conventional housing norms.
inside, a clever multi-level floor plan, soaring high-stud
ceilings, and exposed beams create spaces full of character and warmth. the
spacious living area enjoys lovely outlooks to the gardens and pool, while
expansive round windows frame views of the harbour and the wider hutt valley. a
beautifully crafted circular staircase leads to a versatile mezzanine — perfect
as a family retreat, library, or creative studio. the galley-style kitchen
connects to a casual dining and sitting area, creating a practical hub for
everyday living while allowing each space its own sense of character.
the home remains in largely original condition throughout.
warm, welcoming and authentic, it feels like a real home with stories to tell
rather than a perfectly polished display.
accommodation includes a primary suite with ensuite, while
the family bathroom is well appointed with a bath, double vanities, separate
shower, and w.c.
outdoor living is equally appealing, with a swimming pool,
generous deck and patio areas, and a dedicated pool house. established gardens
and lawn provide a beautiful setting for relaxation and play. practicality is
assured with a large double garage, ample off-street parking, and extensive
under-house storage.
the location offers the perfect balance of privacy and
convenience — just minutes from lower hutt cbd with easy access to sh2 for
commuting into wellington.
more than just an architectural statement, this is a home
with heart — warm, authentic, and full of character. if you appreciate homes
with personality and architectural pedigree, this is one you will want to
experience in person.
