The topography of the Tutukaka coast is defined by steeply rolling pastoral landscape looking east over the Pacific Ocean to the Poor Knights Archipelago. This holiday residence is set below a high ridge in a cattle farm.
The building twists to follow the contour with the living space elevated on a concrete plinth to provide a glazed screen to the sheltered courtyard behind. David Loughlin was project architect on the house for Fearon Hay Architects.
A intelligent compact design using juxtaposition of elements and tones. This is a seamless solution with high attention to detail. The kitchen also provides the perfect separation between spaces.
A great response to a difficult site, that delivers a user friendly design with tonnes of attitude. Carefully crafted and ledgeable elements that intersect and work.
