Magnificent views and the rugged natural landscape of Waitarere Beach form the backdrop and forefront of our clients' dream kiwi hideaway. A modern home designed with class and sophistication, all the while paying homage to it’s harsh and rugged surrounds.

Privacy and seclusion from the roadside have been cleverly accomplished in this hideaway retreat while ensuring all that Waitarere Beach has to offer can be enjoyed from all positions of the property.

Designed to maximize the natural beauty of the surrounds, while providing shelter from the wind and harsh Waitarere weather, the client’s brief was that the property had to be comfortable, welcoming, and ambient, without feeling like a show home. Low maintenance finishes and security were paramount.  

Built on a sand dune, the site slopes up to the now-formed terraced driveway, creating anticipation to the beauty of the home itself. The decorative wood-textured precast panels have been tinted to draw the colour palette from the surrounding sands and landscape. The panels are sturdy and strong, and like it’s product “cement” the property into the sand dunes as though it has always been there. Alongside the cedar weatherboards, the property doesn’t scream out for attention, offering the clients the private oasis they desire.
