Contemporary architectural marvel completed in 2024, featuring durable corrugate cladding, a striking elevated design, and a thoughtfully divided interior that balances vibrant public spaces with intimate private quarters.

Welcome to Matuku Moana, a stunning contemporary house completed in 2024 by Studio Brick Architects. Though the design may seem simple at first glance, the level of detail and technical expertise required to bring this project to life is truly impressive. 

The exterior features durable corrugate cladding, giving a nod to agricultural influences and highlighting the verticality of the structure. Raised off the ground and slightly extending beyond its concrete foundation, the house stands as a strong and striking presence on the land. 

Step inside to discover a soft and colourful interior that offers a delightful contrast to the rugged exterior. With public spaces on the lower level and sleeping quarters plus an office upstairs, Matuku Moana showcases a clear division between lively, light-filled areas below and a more intimate, textured retreat above.
