Nestled between open sea and native bush, this Ōhope Beach new build is the perfect antidote to a busy life that our homeowner dreamed of. Beach houses both new and old dot the picturesque white sand coastline that is often blessed with great surf. Choosing to build further back on the property affords the occupants privacy from the road and beach, without compromising on the expansive views out to sea. Rooms to the rear of the house aren’t short changed when it comes to a scenic outlook, with a dense established reserve on the back doorstep.

Akin Design’s Sherrie Thompson’s brief from her client was simple and unambiguous: create a home where multi-generational entertaining is integral but also a sanctuary for the homeowner. The client wanted the home to have a nod to nature, reflected in the material choices and colour palette and to work with some of the special pieces she’d accumulated through the years.

Serving as a meeting hub where family travel to from far and wide, the home accommodates all. Stretching across three levels, the ground floor is a home away from home for children and grandchildren. The mid-floor offers living and entertainment, and the top floor, the homeowners retreat, houses the master bedroom, a small living space, office and endless views out to White and Whale Island.
