7 Coach Lane, Belmont, Lower Hutt

Tucked away in a private, sunny setting and surrounded by established gardens, this striking home showcases the visionary design of Roger Walker. Playful and idiosyncratic, the home’s bold geometry and inventive layout create a captivating arrangement of spaces and roofs, enhanced by large circular windows and distinctive portholes that are hallmarks of Walker’s architectural style. A carefully considered palette of stone, timber, and tile adds richness and texture — reflecting Walker’s creative imagination and his departure from conventional housing norms.
