By Studio Brick Architects
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.
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.
