White Lagoon House
Positioned on the edge of sand spit, and across the road from the local public boat ramp this home is conceived of as an assemblage of forms arranged by the incoming and outgoing tides.
The forms rise up to the sun on the northern side of the property and open out to the water on the southern side.
Exterior spaces coalesce around the edges of these forms, forming a series of decks and courtyards that allow the exterior to be usable all year round.
The monopitch forms that comprise the house are treated in a solid local stone. Interiors are treated mainly with timber linings, creating a warm series of hollows.
This home expands out to the gardens beyond, bringing light and sun into spaces all year round. Subtle shifts in the angles of the massing and careful placement of openings create moments of delight.
Detailing is deliberately simple and robust. Durability and straightforward elegance define selections and design.

About the
Professional
Waterfall Associates is a design-led Architectural practice based on Auckland's waterfront.
We design liveable, functional, and memorable environments for people. Our practice is experience driven, and client focused. We seek particular, high quality architectural responses to each site, and to the specific needs of each commission. We look to the particularities of each project, its program, budget, physical and cultural contexts, to identify the most important issues to which the architecture responds.
We offer expertise across the range of architectural practice and building scale, including feasibility, master-planning, design documentation and contract administration.
We bring a public mindedness to the work, with each project considered within its broader contemporary environment, its impact on the public domain, sustainability, infrastructure and landscape.
We are fortunate enough to have received a number of National awards.
