By Four Walls Architecture
This beachside house was designed for family holidays and as a retreat from city life. Spectacular views on all sides were captured from all spaces, allowing one to feel immersed in the landscape and miles away from everyday life.
The house is a simple gable roof form that sits quietly in its setting, and hardy materials were chosen for minimal maintenance and longevity. The volume of the pitched roof form creates a sense of calm and airiness in the living spaces, and textured, casual materials invoke easy, relaxed bach living.
Four Walls Architecture is a boutique, award-winning NZIA practice that prides itself on concise, clear, calm and beautifully crafted architecture both inside and out. We believe in architecture that stands the test of time, through its function, purpose, materiality and quality of design. Our clients are our priority; without you, we cannot create, so we leave aside ego and put you, your budget and your project vision at the centre of all our work.
We have worked throughout New Zealand, in its unique coastal, rural and urban environments, so we know how every site brings its own design opportunities and constraints, and how to make the best of both. We have an exceptional team who are equally committed to your project; you are in safe hands at every project stage as we help you bring your project to fruition, from the first meeting to completion.
