Positioned to capture light and outlook

Positioned on the front edge of Mount Pleasant with reserve land at its boundary and expansive views across McCormacks Bay, this home is shaped by its exceptional coastal setting. A simple gabled form anchors the architecture, with generous glazing capturing uninterrupted outlooks while drawing natural light deep into the interior. 

The ground floor centres on an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that connects directly to the lawn and reserve beyond. Above, bedrooms are arranged to take advantage of elevated water views. A restrained palette of light cladding, warm timber and soft interior finishes reinforces the home’s calm coastal character.

Professional Reviews

1 / 2

“We had Matt Anderson-Stewart of MAS Architecture design our home in Otatara. Throughout the entire design process, we found Matt to be extremely professional, efficient and responsive. Matt was very meticulous in his planning and worked to our brief whilst enhancing our vision for what we wanted. Matt would always listen to our ideas, research the materials and advise on what options were best suited. Our site came with a few challenges, of which Matt would engage in further research and was extremely co-operative with liaising with local council. Matt designed our home that is not only great to live in, but aesthetically pleasing with a creative edge. As a result of Matt’s architectural touch, along with our builder, we have a home which we are absolutely thrilled with and adore! We would recommend Matt to anyone looking to foresee an architectural project and would definitely use him again if we embarked on another project.”
