Bowentown Bach

This eroded singular form sits on the threshold of a seaside subdivision and coastal wilderness. Passing through the weathering exterior, the confronting angular form approached gives way to warm timber linings. A diagonal path bisects the plan and presents the stairwell, leading guests up to the elevated living space. From this raised position occupants sit and observe the wind-swept dunes.

The dynamic of the external geometry is made known throughout the interior generating both the lofty expansive breathing space and tapering back down to the low, snug window seat. Apertures favour connections to the natural environment, while solid walls provide refuge from neighbouring suburbia.

About the
Professional

From urban spaces and workplaces, to private homes and holiday retreats, we believe good design should create an enriching experience that inspires individual and social well-being.

From our studios in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty we offer a comprehensive architectural service, extending from the macro level of master planning to the tactile experience of intimate interior spaces.

Each of our projects is an opportunity to bring together, people, capability and resource, in order to produce the highest outcome. Our design-led and pragmatic approach develops design responses that are thoughtful and beautiful yet grounded in a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technology.

Since Edwards White began in 2005 we have been designing with a deep respect of the environmental context. We believe that early integration of sustainability into conceptual thinking, leads to rich design outcomes that positively shape our environment and our culture. We’re also taking additional steps to improve the way our decisions and operations support a low carbon future, and are committed to the education and implementation of these practices.
