Architects at home: A nest in the bay
The sun pours into the recently finished hillside home of architects Celia Goldsmith and Ari Stevens, casting their mid-century furniture in light and shadow. Panel windows frame the view of Wellington Harbour and the sky beyond. Along Evans Bay Parade, swimmers splash, bush birds sing, and blue sea glistens under scattered sailboats.
“I love this room,” says Celia of the main kitchen / living room while playing with baby Olive. “It’s easy to forget you’re actually inside a house and not in a treetop nest.”
Whangarei-born Ari, who works for Athfield Architects, and Taranaki-born Celia, Isthmus
