2017 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Mangakuri Bach
Set on a site with full views down the length of the beach, this two-storey home sits proudly amongst the native trees planted 17 years ago in anticipation of its arrival. The eave-less building form is not typical of an East Coast bach but expresses the clients' inspiration for the house. The simple yet considered interior combines honest materials and exposed utilities with considered timber detailing crisp white elements. Three bedrooms on the first floor have stunning vistas through the trees to the seas beyond, and a smaller and detached garage with sleep-out above extends the usability of the site with a similar refined design approach.
