Johnston Architects Moeraki by Jamie Cobel Photographer

ArchiPro Project Summary - Innovative Moeraki Bach designed with geotechnical challenges in mind, featuring a cost-effective adjustable perimeter pile system and an ‘L’ shaped plan that maximizes views and shelter while adhering to a tight budget and construction timeline.

Title:: Johnston Architects Moeraki
Photographer:: Jamie Cobel Photographer
Category:: Residential/; New Builds

This relatively small house constructed on a site that was known to have geotechnical stability issues, with a tight budget and even tighter construction programme. The project required unique solutions to ensure architectural quality wasn’t sacrificed for basic practicality or sheer expedience.

Constructed on a custom-designed, however cost-effective adjustable perimeter pile system this Moeraki Bach resulted from a pragmatic ‘L’ shaped plan that turns two solid walls into the prevailing winds and allows the living and bedroom spaces to open out onto a sunny sheltered deck with sweeping views of Moeraki Bay.
