Mangawhai Residence banner

This house has been designed on a stunning coastal site with views out to the Mangawhai Heads. The ground level is anchored into the site, with the surrounding natural contours of the site left untouched. The upper level is clad with cedar which has been detailed to delicately wrap over the window forms and hang over the ground floor level. Cantilevered balconies and cedar slat screens provide sheltered outdoor spaces which capture the view.

DBA is an architecture practice with a holistic approach to design.

We are committed to designing buildings that are environmentally responsible, high performing, practical and engaging to all.

We pride ourselves on improving the built environment by exploring the use of locally sourced sustainable materials, creating healthy living environments and using innovative, efficient building systems. We believe in a collaborative approach to architectural design with the Client, Builders and Engineers being critical to achieving quality architecture. 

With our diverse skill set we can design with a variety of traditional and innovative engineered construction types allowing us to find the best solution to achieve the required design.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
