This collection of boat-shed inspired pods overlooks the expanse of Golden Bay. Timber boardwalks and decking surround and connect the pods to the landscape and one another. The house was designed for family holiday gatherings, where everyone can be social together but retreat to their own pod for quiet time.
All spaces connect to the outdoors and sea views, with elements of surprise, like the dining table that can be pushed out on wheels to the end of the ‘wharf’, and internal bathroom windows looking out to the water and mountains beyond.
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.
