By Johnston Architects
Composed of two parallel gable volumes and positioned to allow extensive views of the remarkable Moeraki coast-line, this family home pays homage to the simple building forms of local barns and boat sheds found in, and around this popular east-coast fishing town.
Exposed structural elements such as the timber columns, beams and rafters are designed to resemble simplistic agricultural building frames, but refined detailing elevates them to become decorative features more befitting a quality family home.
