Rapaura House, designed by Marlborough’s distinctive and visionary Jimma Dillon and built by Lawson Homes, is a refined rural retreat that blends effortlessly into its vineyard surroundings. The home features a low-profile roofline and clean, geometric form clad in natural timber, allowing it to settle gently into the landscape. Inside, hardwood timber floors, exposed trusses, and a muted natural palette reflect both sophistication and simplicity. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing frames panoramic views and floods the interior with natural light, while large sliding doors open to generous hardwood decks, creating a seamless flow between indoors and out. The open-plan layout places a high-ceilinged living, kitchen, and dining area at the heart of the home, flanked by quiet bedroom wings for privacy. Sustainable design principles are woven throughout, from passive solar orientation and thermal mass to double glazing and high insulation. Surrounded by native planting and grounded in Jimma Dillon’s philosophy of environmental harmony,
