An artful escape away from the city, this home in a seaside settlement north of Dunedin is a natural wonder. The design responds beautifully to the land and its trees. One branch bows poetically to meet the deck. The home’s exterior timber cladding is a fitting response.

The structure itself is sculpturally striking, with its irregular angled walls, reading like a jagged cliff face.

An expansive deck wraps around the open-plan living space, fully immersed in nature. A freestanding wood burner set before a beautiful precast concrete screen ensures the outdoor domain can be enjoyed late into the night. The deck’s timber ceiling is in keeping with the exterior cladding.

From inside, views and light filter through the surrounding greenery. Oak trim wraps around floor-to-ceiling windows.

The designer kitchen, with scullery, is modern yet timeless. Quality materials ensure the home will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Three bedrooms and two beautiful bathrooms complete this 234sqm retreat.
