Johnston Architects Moeraki
By Jamie Cobel Photographer
This relatively small house constructed on a site that was known to have geotechnical stability issues, with a tight budget and even tighter construction programme. The project required unique solutions to ensure architectural quality wasn’t sacrificed for basic practicality or sheer expedience.
Constructed on a custom-designed, however cost-effective adjustable perimeter pile system this Moeraki Bach resulted from a pragmatic ‘L’ shaped plan that turns two solid walls into the prevailing winds and allows the living and bedroom spaces to open out onto a sunny sheltered deck with sweeping views of Moeraki Bay.
