Perched above Wellington’s spectacular south coast, 41D View Road is a brand-new, never-lived-in architectural home with extraordinary views across Cook Strait and towards the layered forms of the Ōrongorongo Ranges.



Private, warm and beautifully considered, this is a rare hillside residence where the view is only part of the story. Designed by Holmes Architecture and built with exceptional care, 41D combines effortless living with a level of construction quality, material choice and hidden detail rarely found in a home of this scale.



The upper level has been shaped around light, outlook and everyday comfort, with kitchen, dining and living coming together in one calm open-plan space framed by expansive glazing and the ever-changing coastal view. At its heart is a highly resolved kitchen designed for someone who actually enjoys cooking, with custom cabinetry, a 12mm porcelain benchtop, walnut detailing, brand-new appliances and a sink positioned to take in the view.



Downstairs, two quiet bedrooms with 100 percent wool carpet throughout open directly to the landscaped exterior, bringing in natural light, fresh coastal air and a close connection to the planting around the home. The fully tiled bathroom continues the same level of care, with underfloor heating, quality fixtures, a bath, generous shower, built-in tiled storage and thoughtful night-time lighting.



What sets 41D apart is not only what you see, but what sits behind the walls. Formance Structural Insulated Panels have been used through the walls, roof and mid-floor, helping create a home that feels warm, quiet and solid. Full double glazing, strong thermal performance, acoustic detailing, decoupled ceilings, sound-rated plasterboard, solid core doors, extensive engineering and carefully considered drainage all contribute to a house built for comfort, confidence and longevity. Together, these elements move the home towards the kind of warmth, efficiency and comfort more often associated with Passive House-style construction.



Externally, Japanese-style charred timber cladding, painted vertical shiplap, Garapa decking, glass balustrades and low-maintenance native landscaping give the home a quiet architectural confidence.



41D is intentionally private and pedestrian. Access is from View Road above, via approximately 130 steps, with a pathway also connecting down towards Queen’s Drive and Lyall Bay. Public transport is available from both the top and bottom of the hill, and street parking on View Road is generally easy for visitors or when needed.
