Peka Peka Beach House

Peka Peka Beach House is a contemporary coastal home on the Kāpiti Coast, designed to respond to wind, dunes, privacy, and expansive sea views. This new home balances durable materials, sheltered outdoor living, and carefully framed spaces to create a year-round family retreat. Designed for Coastal Living Beachfront sites require a different architectural response. Exposure to salt air, strong northwest winds, and changing weather patterns shaped every design decision for this home. A reverse C-shaped plan creates privacy from neighbouring properties while forming a protected outdoor courtyard. Living areas open to sun and views, while more private sleeping zones are carefully sheltered. A Home for Gathering Designed for extended family stays, the home balances generous communal areas with quieter private zones. Split-level planning helps separate functions naturally while maintaining visual connection throughout the house. A bunk room for younger guests, flexible sleeping spaces, and durable finishes make the house equally suited to summer holidays and winter weekends away. Built to Last on the Coast Material selection focused on resilience, warmth, and texture. Whitewashed brick, dark timber detailing, and robust exterior finishes were chosen to weather beautifully in the coastal environment while keeping maintenance low.
