PEKAPEKA

Set amongst the dunes of Peka Peka on the Kāpiti Coast, this striking two-level home was designed by MCooper Architects to blend naturally with its coastal context while delivering refined, highly functional modern living. The home features three bedrooms, multiple living spaces, a guest suite, studio, study, and double garage, organised over two levels. Built by Slate Construction, the Arapipi Residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship, intelligent detailing, and a restrained material palette that celebrates texture and coastal tones. Ground Floor: Guest suite with ensuite, rumpus room, laundry, internal access garage, and covered outdoor kitchen area. Upper Floor: Main bedroom with ensuite, second bedroom, bathroom, open-plan kitchen/living/dining, separate lounge, and study. Expansive decks wrap around north and west elevations for sun and sea views. The home’s form and detailing reflect a clean-lined coastal vernacular. Natural timber cladding, textured battens, deep eaves, and minimalist balustrades define a visually soft yet high-performing home. Every material was selected for durability, performance, and aesthetic warmth—suited perfectly for the coastal New Zealand climate. Slate Construction delivered a refined, place-responsive home that speaks to the lifestyle aspirations of its owners and the enduring charm of Peka Peka.
