Contemporary coastal addition featuring large perforated aluminium screens, designed by ETCH Architecture for avid surfers, harmonizing with its surroundings while creating dynamic light patterns throughout the day.
Large perforated aluminium screens on the exterior, create a bleeding of light from the east in this lovely dappled pattern
Designed by ETCH Architecture for a couple who are avid surfers, this clever addition on a compact coastal site is both overtly contemporary and entirely sympathetic to its context.
This is an addition that delivers a hint of fun, and an ever changing manipulation of light, diffusing or enhancing depending on the time of day.

Bathroom
The main bathroom employs large-format stone tiles. A large skylight has been installed as a focal point to the bathroom providing light and space. A mirrored wall behind the vanity provides a further sense of spaciousness.
Entrance Way
The main entrance way to the house is now at the intersection between old and new. Board formed in-situ concrete walls, lead you upstairs to a light filled space lined intricately with birch plywood. The views from this house stretch out to the south, overlooking the Lyall Bay surf club.
