This coastal site has been owned by the family for the past 100 years, and it is their wish to keep it in the family for the foreseeable future. The house rests on a narrow parcel of land that runs parallel to the sea and beach, looking out towards the Mokohinau Islands. The house sits low and is a single level stepping down to meet the natural contours, minimising its bulk on the ridgeline as well as the wind loading. The intention was to place the house on the site without too much disruption; the land was never adjusted to suit. The materials and finishes are durable and relatively maintenance free due to the harsh coastal environment, and upon entering the house one is greeted by the stunning view. The living space is the internal viewing space where you can spend hours looking across the water and up and down the coast. Location: Mangawhai Year Completed: 2011

“We were delighted to partner with Wingate on the design and delivery of our amazing new Auckland offices. Our brief was for Wingate to step away from the look of a traditional law firm and push the boundaries with a design that has more of a boutique and relaxed feel. Having been the first NZ law firm to embrace an open plan environment approximately 15 years ago and we wanted to be bold with our design to evolve the way we work to the next stage. The result is tremendous and we really enjoyed working with the Wingate team throughout the process. Wingate were also superb in pulling together a great team to deliver the project and the early engagement process with Savory Construction worked extremely well to ensure that our tight timeframes were met. We are loving our new home and there is already a noticeable increase in productivity as a result!”
