By Studio H Design
We are currently engaged in an exhilarating new project, an unconventional dwelling nestled on a sloping terrain in coastal Omokoroa, Tauranga, where the influence of Japanese design is beautifully manifested through the inclusion of charred Accoya cladding, large overhangs, and chain downpipes sourced from Japan. The ongoing construction of this residence comprises two distinct structures: a living wing that gracefully extends beyond the ground, and a garage wing firmly rooted in the land, while a master suite atop offers breathtaking vistas of the encompassing landscape.
Central to the design of this abode is a strong emphasis on sustainability, as the client holds a deep regard for ecological harmony. The architectural vision incorporates a multitude of environmentally conscious features, including solar power integration, rainwater collection and reuse systems, thermally insulated joinery, mechanical ventilation, and the utilization of sustainably sourced materials such as the charred Accoya cladding and chain downpipes.
We are deeply honored to have the privilege of working closely with these esteemed clients throughout the coming year to materialize their envisioned sanctuary. The anticipation builds as we eagerly await the realization of the finished product, a testament to their aspirations and our collaborative efforts.
