Design Meets Comfort: Underfloor Heating for Modern Homes
A Passion Project That Warms from the Ground Up
What happens when craftsmanship, architectural brilliance, and family warmth come together in one home? The answer lies in Tom Lindsay’s stunning build in St Albans, Ōtautahi—affectionately showcased in Abode Magazine’s “Passion Project” feature.
It’s a home where beauty, efficiency, and heartfelt design converge. And flowing gently underfoot, bringing that design to life, is Warmth.nz’s hydronic underfloor heating system—delivering healthy, radiant comfort.
Where Warmth Meets Architecture
Designed by Figure & Ground, this home unfolds in an elegant C-shape around a sheltered internal courtyard—crafted to maximise privacy and functionality while embracing Ōtautahi’s dynamic weather.
At its heart, a breathtaking living area soars beneath a cathedral ceiling, flooding the space with natural light. Perfect for lively gatherings or quiet mornings, this central hub opens seamlessly to the outdoors, giving the family that highly sought-after indoor-outdoor flow.
