This Herbst Architects design is hidden away above Onetangi Beach.
With breathtaking views across the bay, the house is built on a cantilevered platform and appears to float above the bush below.
The floor to ceiling windows contrast with the dark stain exterior screen cladding, and a sheltered courtyard with swimming pool connect the house to the surrounding landscape.
