2025 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner
Omanu
Strong in-situ concrete forms anchor this beachside home, shielding it from the street while opening two dwellings to the beach. The raw honesty of the materials is carried through with clarity and confidence, creating a sense of permanence and protection. A courtyard and pool connect the main house to a separate dwelling for family and friends, enabling modern, multi-generational living together, yet apart. Meticulously detailed and closely conceived with the client, this is a refined and resilient coastal retreat.
