This family holiday home in Hahei is a work of art and engineering. While appearing simple, the technical aspects and structural elements are staggering. Situated above one of New Zealand’s best beaches, the home maximises steep topography and the majestic pohutukawa on the site. Four pavilions, all constructed in the same materials, are stacked on top of the other, yet slightly askew. This gives each level a pleasingly different outlook. The concept of ‘touching the ground lightly’ has been adopted and creates a floating effect. As much of the home is on show, either from above or below, all aspects have been finished with fine attention to detail. A “gin and tonic” top deck provides a breathtaking vista and adds a subtle elegance to the streetscape. Visible supporting structures have been designed to mimic the surrounding pohutukawa branches. The true scale of the beach home is disguised until you set foot inside. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three living areas, including an ultra-contemporary kitchen, there’s really no excuse to leave.

“We decided that it was time to build on our Pines section in Matarangi and we wanted to build a luxury beach home that sat well in the Pines environment, we are very particular about detail and wanted to achieve the wow factor. We approached Nick Gill in January 2017 and he was extremely receptive to what we were trying to achieve and very easy to deal with. We have been impressed with Nicks ability to come up with creative ideas to enhance our build. Nick was always available to discuss, provide solutions and we made a number of changes along the way which Nick included with ease. All members of the building team are really easy to deal with and did a fantastic job on the detailing our home required, they kept us informed and asked questions along the way. The construction of some aspects involved some technically challenging work which was executed with perfection. We were impressed with the standard of workmanship his sub trades provided and the excellent relationship Nick has with these teams meant everything was completed on time. We moved in as planned in November 2017 and really love our home. It has been a pleasure to deal with Nick and his team and we would certainly recommend and use them again.”
