Elevated on a sand dune, the compact form of this beachside home hovers over an outdoor courtyard perimeter wall, featuring playful opening portholes

Built in Eastbourne and designed by UPOKO Architects, this new seaside home is an example of unique architecture that SpiceBuild is experienced in delivering.

Expertly crafted, the cedar clad design brings natural light into the home and offers both sky and hill views.

Housing category winner at the 2023 Wellington Architecture Awards.
