Aotea Harbour: A cozy holiday house on a secluded promontory, featuring expansive single-level living, panoramic views, and a design that adapts to climate, awarded the 2019 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Award.
This holiday house occupies an exquisite and little-known promontory on our western coastline. Its modest site area belies its expansive single-level living. Flanked on it’s eastern boundary by the garage/guest room. The first floor bunkroom lookout stands sentry over the eastern bay with panoramic view from its protected balcony as far as the wild western coastline. The fortress-like screened northern eastern wall protects the main covered courtyard.
Designed as a cozy sanctuary for extended family and friends, it can be seamlessly unfolded in three directions in response to wind changes and climate.
