Panoramic paradise in New Plymouth

MAGICAL SECTION SECURED

With a magical section secured and plans of designing and building their dream home in New Plymouth’s exclusive coastal farm community of Tapuae Country Estate, couple Pete and Claire were excited to embark on their journey with Landmark.

“Owners Pete and Claire found the land and approached Landmark to Design and Build it for them,” Scott says. “Originally, they wanted to build a large Tuscan-style home using the Te Anau Ready to Build Plan. When their circumstances changed, they didn’t want to lose their section, so we pivoted direction and built a beach-style holiday home that focuses on the views.”

TRUSTED TEAM

With unforeseen circumstances seeing the couple moving north before building began, it was up to the trusted team at Landmark’s New Plymouth & Taranaki franchise to craft the breath taking bach.

“It was a bit sad when the clients left,” Scott says. “That day, they came into the office and reviewed the plans. They were happy and said go ahead and get it done. Pete and Claire put a lot of faith in us, and we were happy to repay their trust with this incredible
holiday home.”

SLEEK FINISHES

Polished concrete and neutral finishes in the sleek bathrooms and galley kitchen gives the home a sense of serenity and cohesion, allowing the beauty of nature to take the lead. A log fire is a focal point in the spacious lounge, offering cosy comfort in the cooler months.

LOCAL TOUCHES

Set under mono-pitch rooftops that complement the contemporary ascetic, the home is clad in a combination of plaster and vertical cedar. At the entrance, visitors are greeted with split River Stone, sourced from a local quarry, while decking, concrete patios and minimalist landscaping keeps the modern home looking streamlined.
