Outtakes

It's outtakes time again - this time we've selected extra shots of the house designed by Ken Crosson and Carolyn Gundy of Crosson Clarke Carnachan Architects on the Kaipara Harbour that features in our October/November 2009 issue. It's never possible to show every aspect of a house without a magazine layout feeling repetitious - what we hope to convey is a sense of the essence of a house, and also to make our readers feel as if they've had a good look around. This house is big and made of many complex parts, so I think it's useful for us to show a few extra of Patrick Reynolds' images here.<br /><br />This one shows the exterior as you arrive at the home and look towards the harbour. On this elevation of the house, the copper walls are windowless and impassive, lined with nikau palms.<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394448156426916930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkN5MSXprS0019RMB6HeAZRX7NceEmgPTHCzOt-2_bLL1P0A5rYbq_EgFIkpT07I4SOG-WlMRTEqhesSMq9s-yvF_B0wnJBXOfYERctDMcgVWZwvIyoU1-wGEeATLQcwlMNaxRv5m0A8la/s400/kaipara+ext+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /><br />Here's a view of the home's main living pavilion, sheltered from westerly winds by the hills behind.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_2E6qU4BEReJYIWIBQ9JzqsIrGXBB37Tz0n83WqB7FV8SzlIIdEpieoc1Y7kX3ipSXktYKQimWLJBtQMIP0gGxA6Pdpyawd73HrRcwbandhWyKOD3Y3QnsTsN_vgOyXp5_ZjhPon11DRs/s1600-h/KAIPARA_ext.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394448177457701602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_2E6qU4BEReJYIWIBQ9JzqsIrGXBB37Tz0n83WqB7FV8SzlIIdEpieoc1Y7kX3ipSXktYKQimWLJBtQMIP0gGxA6Pdpyawd73HrRcwbandhWyKOD3Y3QnsTsN_vgOyXp5_ZjhPon11DRs/s400/KAIPARA_ext.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />In contrast to the huge volume of the main living area - which Ken likens to the inside of an upturned galleon - the bedrooms have lower ceilings and are more intimate, cosy spaces, although still lined in the same ply as the rest of the home. The headboard is made from macrocarpa and was designed by the architects.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-K-S1seE0KkeIRXXfxWfPI1BGUDwcImfVFic1vVRv_3WdWvcD7JjEzARXtPIGFMhJ_K93zkPdQvUGY42fcgDr_RsOlmt5jSKMrX7TaIqZKfo88jj4WyRLXvu5zb1pqN9NVsHsvU2H4ZLz/s1600-h/KAIPARA_bedroom.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394448171395531810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-K-S1seE0KkeIRXXfxWfPI1BGUDwcImfVFic1vVRv_3WdWvcD7JjEzARXtPIGFMhJ_K93zkPdQvUGY42fcgDr_RsOlmt5jSKMrX7TaIqZKfo88jj4WyRLXvu5zb1pqN9NVsHsvU2H4ZLz/s400/KAIPARA_bedroom.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> </div><div>This particularly good-looking shot - which it gave us great pains to leave out of our magazine layout - is a view from the deck outside the living pavilion, looking north to the master bedroom suite.<br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih52KaXeQEwXRQpm1BPpCiHdjenlWNNn-fDZmFHtB1jWDS93B0BLgQDdRpH1EwSPiuXqtourUErVyPGD74Pu7TSt2gKkXemg76ngJjoSN3Rwv7UnjuvkAlc6ixQudzZRdArFI-b-9IA9iG/s1600-h/kaipara+chair+ext.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394448147260153330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih52KaXeQEwXRQpm1BPpCiHdjenlWNNn-fDZmFHtB1jWDS93B0BLgQDdRpH1EwSPiuXqtourUErVyPGD74Pu7TSt2gKkXemg76ngJjoSN3Rwv7UnjuvkAlc6ixQudzZRdArFI-b-9IA9iG/s400/kaipara+chair+ext.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" /></a></div></div></div>
