Postman Tea-House

The Postman’s Teahouse is an architecturally designed home that seamlessly blends modern and natural elements, and exemplifies modern rural living, combining sleek architectural lines with the lush, green surroundings of rural Auckland.

The project is characterized by a main farmhouse building cladded in a white facade and dark metal roof, seamlessly integrating into the pastoral landscape. The house overlooks a green field where sheep graze, creating a picturesque and serene environment.

A secondary structure complements the primary bulk, finished with a minimalist black wooden exterior. This building is nestled among tall trees, emphasizing a strong connection with nature. A key feature is the reflective water body surrounding the structure, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The wooden deck and large windows invite natural light, creating a warm and inviting interior space.
