Waimari Beach House

This 3 - storey home has been designed to sit tall on the Christchurch coastline overlooking the sand dunes and out to the South Pacific Ocean. Our client desires a house that evokes the feel of living on the Greek Island of Santorini. Our approach has been to treat the house as a small village in its own right. With compressed passage ways and stairs within a central core connecting between open living spaces that link to the exterior terraces which have been orientated to maximize the views of the ocean, the Southern Alps and the Port Hills Caldera! The house has a typically restrained material palate with white plastered walls contrasting with blonded timber, carpet and stone floor coverings providing a neutral background for a large family to enjoy.
