Perched on the cliffs of the small fishing community of Motunau, North Canterbury, Whitecaps House is a beautifully crafted four-bedroom weekend retreat. The house maximises its site and takes advantage of its ocean views with unique vistas being created from all rooms. Gathered around a centralised courtyard, the plan allows for solar penetration from the north while maximising the panoramic views to the south. The materials are elegant and restrained, creating a stunning easy-care weekend home.
