Set in suburban Mount Maunganui, this small beachside home offers a thoughtful and flexible response to a late change in client. It shows how good design can adapt to changing lifestyles and family needs, creating a home that lasts over time. Originally planned for a couple, it is now home to a young and growing family of six. The house responds carefully to its setting, focusing on privacy and using deep tones, warm materials, and details influenced by Balinese design. The interiors are carefully arranged, leading people through spaces that feel both enclosed and open. Changes in light and levels of privacy create a strong sense of retreat. The result is a calm, unified, and lasting home with quiet architectural confidence.
