With open plan living and dining, bedrooms for guest accommodation and a central amenities block, this dwelling has the makings of the great kiwi-bach at heart.

Extensive boardwalks surrounding the structure offer flexible indoor-outdoor living as well as an accessible platform to complete any required building maintenance.

Vast glazing within the dwelling brings a sense of airiness to the interior and allows for sunlight to travel through the space year-round.

For Tim and Carolyn it was important that the kitchen be the heart of the home. The solid ash island bench is a natural rendezvous point where all things, food, activity and conversation occur.

Lined with hardwood flooring, the adjoining living room is a blank canvas for a myriad of uses. The best however, simply enjoying the sunset.

Sustainably grown NZ Macrocarpa was used to clad the building in a vertical orientation and balance out the length of the structure. Its natural texture and rustic warmth do well to emulate the coastal landscape.
