Beach Road Home
By John Mills Architects
Nestled under an ancient Pohutakawa, this deeply 60’s home was in original condition when our clients discovered it.
With children now working, they were ready to move to their next stage of life. We were asked to transform this solid, but dull “Nana house” into a groovy, open, relaxed and colourful home.
We have not added any floor area, but have re-planned the entire interior so as to maximise open plan living areas. These open onto a big curved deck which concludes with a bench seat under the tree’s branches.
JMA were asked to design all landscaping, joinery, colours, lights and curtains to create this warm, livable and enchanting coastal home. This has resulted some sense of wonder from visitors of all ages…and delight and pride from the client: my brother, and his whanau.
Thanks for the experience Dave! See you soon.

About the
Professional
JMA has been operating in Wellington, New Zealand since 1990. It has a distinctive aesthetic that seeks to combine our passion for materials and colour with a desire to create uniquely tailored architecture for the individual or specific organisation. The studio has completed projects around New Zealand, including Auckland and Nelson.
The team endeavours to create architecture that speaks of its sites and surroundings, with grace, poetry and personality – unencumbered by blind conformity and dictates of transient fashion. JMA works together with clients and builders to craft beautiful forms and engaging spaces that make the heart leap and the soul sing.
Practicality and comfort are so fundamental to quality building, form and space. The heart should leap, the eyes should widen and the soul should sing. This is the aim of architecture.
