Beachfront Goodness

Our clients sought to replace their existing outlived dwelling with a new home which had a sense of naturalness within the beachfront location. A home that would celebrate the functional layout of the old with the considered approach to new.

The design seeks to maximise the attributes of this outstanding site by placing the living on the upper level and glazing along the front to allow views over the dunes to the ocean horizon. Ground floor kids living, and bedrooms open out to the pool area below elevated living decks.

Composed of a series of symmetrical boxes with a centrally pitched and cantilevered roof projecting to the horizon. Clad in two contrasting cedar weatherboard profiles that will weather in the manner of driftwood.

An arboretum collection of woods throughout including exterior cedars, hardwoods, plywood and oaks threaded throughout the design.

Just simply, Beachfront Goodness.

ARCHITECTURAL EXCELLENCE, DESIGNED FOR PURPOSE FOR EVERYDAY LIVING

Located in Mount Maunganui, our award-winning studio is led by Architectural Design Director Jason Macdonald. With more than 25 years’ experience, Jason possesses a deep understanding of the local context, a diverse skillset, and a profound passion for his craft.

The foundation of our projects rests upon a thorough understanding of our clients needs. Through an open and collaborative process, we diligently work to ensure that the final outcome not only maintains its relevance and meaning but also authentically reflects their individual identities and the unique characteristics of each site.

Our deeply grounded design values focus on understanding our clients and delivering a professional service. These values shape every design vision and decision.

Our creative process is built upon this foundation, ensuring consistency in what ever project and design we take on. Our philosophy is that good architecture is a combination of simplicity, aesthetics and functionality brought to life with meticulous attention to detail and the use of enduring quality materials.

Architectural excellence, designed with purpose for everyday living.
