Perched behind the sand dunes in a small beach town in New Zealand. Every aspect of this projects design is imbued with its location, from the sweeping views of the open sea to the silhouette of the mountains in the distance.

Timber and concrete were chosen for the external materials due to their ability to withstand the harsh coastal environment while also echoing the coastal tones, ensuring durability and harmony with its surroundings.
