Our goal is to strategically expand and reconfigure the home to strengthen the connection between interior and exterior spaces while also adding a more spacious primary suite, formalised entry space, and an expanded bedroom and hallway bathroom. The sense of connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is to be heightened by a large, multi-panel sliding door system spanning the full width of the main living spaces offering views of Lake Taupo and the mountains beyond. The outdated kitchen will be relocated, flowing into a spacious great room overlooking new landscaping and pool. Indoor/outdoor floor tile extends the living spaces out onto patios at the atrium and rear Northern Patio to further fade the boundary between this contemporary homes interior and exterior - for this reason we have named the property the 'Glass House'.
