Double Courtyard House emerges from the Te Arai dunes as two carefully crafted rammed-earth pavilions. Each pavilion is organised around its own courtyard, creating different experiences of shelter, light, and openness. One courtyard brings filtered light into a fern-filled garden beside the bedrooms, while the other opens toward wide ocean views. Carefully detailed and strongly connected to its coastal landscape, the house balances permanence with sensitivity to place. Through precise craftsmanship and a calm material palette, the project creates a confident and grounded response to its dramatic setting.
