Sandtrap

Evocative of sandcastles and surf softened edges, this home is a legacy project for our Clients to share with their grown children and grandchildren.
Successfully negotiating this challenging and significant brief on a tight site, the home deftly manages opportunities for closeness and retreat within a bold sculptural form.
The building addresses the end of the lane confidently; satisfying a mediated threshold between the public realm of the street & walkway and private engagement with the spectacular and ever changing views over the Estuary and Whāngateau Harbour.
Dual softened curves provide depth to the façade and lead the eye to the Entry & double height space beyond. Early morning light is gently welcomed deep into the home through this elevated aperture.
Along the public accessway twin sculptured terraces and stairways can been seen. The terraces provide vantage points to look out over the sandspit, bird sanctuary and beyond to Ti Point Headland. The Stairs ramp down to meet in the central and protected North facing courtyard.
Softened formal strategies and material selections create resonant sequencing and ease of comfort throughout the home.
