Whaitere.

Rather than imposing itself on the coast, this expressive holiday home by Ponting Fitzgerald Architects feels as though it has always belonged there.

In-situ concrete forms a strong, enduring backbone to the home, providing structural integrity while anchoring the building to its exposed coastal setting. The precision of the concrete work is complemented by warm cedar weatherboards, which introduce texture, natural warmth, and a softness that allows the home to sit comfortably within its dune environment.

Expansive spaces, strong architectural forms, and finely resolved finishes reflect Oliver Tuck Construction’s commitment to quality and their collaborative approach with designers and clients alike.

The result is a bespoke coastal residence where robust materials and thoughtful construction come together to elevate everyday living through durability, performance, and understated luxury.
