Shadow Box is a playful and carefully crafted Waiheke home perched above Onetangi Beach. Wrapped in curved battens, the house has a strong coastal character while maintaining warmth and softness throughout. Curved forms, a slatted outdoor room, and an elevated courtyard create spaces that feel open, relaxed, and connected to the landscape. A sunken fire pit forms the social heart of the home, while the unconventional layout carefully separates work, living, and beach life. Full of care, personality, and inventive detail, the project is a memorable and highly resolved piece of coastal architecture.
