Sunrise

I'll be back on TV3's Sunrise this Friday continuing our series of tours of well-designed homes. This week, the camera crew is filming a house designed by architect Guy Tarrant in the Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn. Patrick Reynolds photographed it for the magazine back in 2005. It's a lovely example of how effective planning can make the most of what many would see as a far-too-difficult sloping back-section.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428570755607530802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNzmR6mVEzhCSdCVdHp5qDJ13XDFrV0VejcFTq6djr3UQoeq8N12VZsl4eNlpHMYXMYATPeDAgTVVZ6BxfM3dNVW5guqM68KBr5ZpAZJvdDLh29HghwvjO53dL5gbx6bhSGBfaJ63VbhqS/s400/Tarrant+ext.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" /><br />The home is predominantly north-facing and on one level, with one bedroom and a study located downstairs and opening onto a lawn. The living area in the image below is a single open-plan space that opens onto a terrace.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDKscv10Tds-Z9uwFsfOHFYX3XmRnd61zODPhu6HCTHbBNSJr87aPZ2ihStgyadcDywnrA-kfRR_th7ZqfE5k14lVDyz6TUeSbW5en-Ib-TTgHz1_1cpdHFIjTv_jNkN9sxnIHfqISw2V/s1600-h/Tarrant+living+room.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428571210888059330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKDKscv10Tds-Z9uwFsfOHFYX3XmRnd61zODPhu6HCTHbBNSJr87aPZ2ihStgyadcDywnrA-kfRR_th7ZqfE5k14lVDyz6TUeSbW5en-Ib-TTgHz1_1cpdHFIjTv_jNkN9sxnIHfqISw2V/s400/Tarrant+living+room.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <div>One of my favourite spaces in the house is the study, which is really a clever occupation of what in lesser hands would have been a simple corridor. You can also see in this photo how the upper and lower levels connect, via a timber-lined stairwell.<br /></div><div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428571203225375826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rhfUvAsGIrpIPDnYoPQMJ2jHGfsGcOBrwGhzoBY49EW1c57PEApYURQnPnyY0kNCsvC-xLmi7ABmplKp3cvcCGACFEore540IXJT10BvO8OFKd30A8xeR7Q4RBJlXtjELFP5j_GqJZTb/s400/Tarrant+study.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" />Tune into TV3 on Friday morning (I think I'll be on around 8.20am) for a full tour of the house. I'll also put up the weblink to the footage when it's available online. </div>
