With a name such as Haeremai in a place called New Norfolk you are excused for jumping to the conclusion that this modernist house is in New Zealand.
It is, of course, in Tasmania. New Norfolk being in the Derwent Valley, not that far from Hobart. Perhaps a displaced Kiwi has named their house using a variation of the Maori word for Welcome, or it fits the genre of popular housenames such as Ruo Emoh.

That is nice. I haven't seen ruched? blinds for years.
ReplyDeleteI barely know the correct architectural terms so don't get me started on curtains and blinds. They fit the house so well that I hadn't noticed them until you commented on them.
ReplyDeleteHere am I?
ReplyDeletethe blinds are probably festoon Blinds - or maybe Austrian. My eyesight is awful and I can't find my glasses.
I love the detailing on the roof line. Now what would you call that? Over to you, David.
Me too Toni and thanks, by the way, for dropping me in it to come up with a name for the roofline.
ReplyDeleteI would call it stepped or perhaps even scalloped but if either of these bear even a passing resemblence to any actual architectural terms is based in coincidence rather than any knowledge whatsoever.
