Waiwhero Farm
Location: Moutere Hills, Whakatū | Nelson
Contributors: Tennent + Brown Architects (Architect) Warner Fences (Fence Design) Total Irrigation Environmental Consultants (Irrigation) NELMAC (Environmental Management)
Year Completed: 2007
Waiwhero Farm spans approximately 130 hectares and offers expansive views of Tasman Bay and the Mt Arthur range. The landscape design integrates the new house and entry road into the landscape. The master plan includes planting around 10,000 native trees, an irrigation dam, new fence lines, and walking tracks to connect different parts of the property. The landscape architect was involved from the project's inception, guiding the alignment of the access drive, house siting, and overall design philosophy. The design is inspired by the geological formations of the Moutere Hills fans, with the house terraced to follow the ridgeline, allowing for smooth transitions from the house interiors to the broad terraces across the slope. The plan also considers the boundaries between the garden, new horticultural crops, and the farm.
