The Lake Tarawera House, nestled on a serene lakeside site in the Bay of Plenty, is the final family home to bridge the owner's past with their future.

As you pass the curved block wall of the entryway and move inside, a gradual unveiling of beauty awaits, revealing a panoramic view from the open-plan living area. With expansive glass doors, the boundaries between inside and outside are allowed to dissolve onto an elegantly floating front deck. The home sweeps out of the landscape with serpentine retaining walls below. Designed with forever in mind, every detail, from the cleverly crafted exterior to the fine finishing touches, contributes to a home where life is lived fully and presently.

Studio Brick Architects. Studio Brick Architects is a design-led architecture office who produce crafted, creative, and considered architecture. We’re all about elegant, sculptural, and sometimes unconventional architectural solutions to briefs of all shapes, sizes, and budgets. Studio Brick Architects are a modern office. We like technology and we use modern procedures to create buildings that will endure and reward you well into the future. We consider the broader context of a project beyond its immediate physical location to the social, political, historical, economic, and environmental conditions of place and space. Through our thoughtful and inclusive relationships with our clients, we offer the complete architectural experience from design, costing, documentation to construction observation. We also like Friday afternoon refreshments. So, if you want to know more please get in touch. —Jeremy
