Good Vibrations House

Nestled among native tussocks, high above the sand dunes, this home is in harmony with its beachside location around 20 minutes’ drive north of Dunedin. Its wood-clad wedge volumes are each oriented to capture a unique angle on the outlook. The Master bedroom enjoys the sunrise over the distant headlands. The openplan kitchen/living/dining wedge turns its gaze across the ocean and to a private swimming bay below. Following the sun, the house opens up to a series of sheltered outdoor spaces. The evening deck and den sees the days last rays over Blueskin Bay. Fine craftsmanship is showcased in the many timber features throughout. Exterior cedar and interior Tasmanian oak create a unified whole. Hand-crafted tiles, stone and ground pebbled concrete surfaces add to the tactile feel of this detailed home. The 430sqm design includes multiple living spaces with fireplaces, three bedrooms, a gallery, outdoor living areas with a barbeque fireplace and a double garage. An outdoor shower and breezeway for boards and wet gear make this a surfer’s paradise.
