The site for this house is positioned perfectly on the corner of a man-made canal.

The design centers around capturing sun and views to the surrounding area, while creating spaces for retreat and privacy. Conceptually, heavy roman style brick walls are used to divide the spaces and zones on the site, with large gabled roofs floating above.

Planned around 3 distinct wings, the house can be opened up to accommodate a growing family, or portioned off to suit a couple.

Generous, light filled spaces open seamlessly onto the site to provide welcoming, warm spaces for entertaining, and relaxed coastal living. Interior plaster and warm timber paneling is used throughout the interior to create texture and warmth, to balance the scale of the building, and the soaring height of the living space.

The Building consent application for this project was split into stages, so that construction on site could begin more quickly.

This project is currently under construction.
