Papamoa House

This beach house was the last project designed by the late Barry Lonergan, founding partner of DLA Architects. The Client and Barry shared a special relationship over the decades which saw Barry design numerous buildings for both business and pleasure. The particular double-level beach house was designed to capture maximum ocean views on the dominant beach side section on the corner of Grant Place and Papamoa Beach Road. Living areas for the semi-retired occupants were positioned on the upper level with additional space for visiting family and friends on the lower level. Privacy from the road was achieved through a series of cedar clad decks flanking the main living zones. A relaxed material palette of dark stained cedar and smaller scale, warm clear sealed cedar screening is enlivened by a pop of fire engine red steel support posts and front door.

About the
Professional

We are dla, creators of top notch architecture

We're small enough to take care of everything from your modest residential renovation and big enough to design, document and deliver multi-million-dollar industrial and commercial facilities, with the in-house expertise to cater for all projects in between.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann. 

The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
