Paihia Residence
The house overlooking Paihia’s waterfront was built for a semi-retired couple. The pivot door is made from timber the homeowners had been saving. “We put a steel frame on it to stop it twisting because it’s so big,” says Alan Simpkin of Arcline Architecture. The homeowners requested a three-car garage, and the driveway required careful planning for vehicle movement as it exits to a narrow road on a hairpin bend.

The posts in the entry gallery were made from old tōtara trees. They have their own uplighting for night-time drama.
The ovens in the kitchen are by Miele and the fridge is by Samsung. With a glassware display cabinet, two dishwashers and a Vintec wine fridge, it's a house made for entertaining.

The wood for the inlay floor was sourced by the homeowner. The 13.5m doors were custom made by Optimal Windows. “They slide beautifully,” says Alan. On the ceiling are pinpoint Laser Blade downlights by iGuzzini that reduce glare.
