Nestling serenely among the sand dunes of Mount Maunganui beach, a high-end metamorphosis has breathed new life into a dated waterfront property that now stands as a testament to the power of restoration, craftsmanship and innovative design. The ambitious project has infused modern aesthetics into every facet of the residence, including reshaping the structure. A lowmaintenance concrete-plaster system, with the look of precast concrete panels, rejuvenates the exterior adding sophistication, robustness and timeless appeal. Vertical rolled-seam trays, arranged in a captivating pattern, add contrast and texture. Making the most of the panoramic coastal views, all interior spaces have been opened up for comfortable living, with swathes of glass doors allowing the indoors to seamlessly integrate with the outdoors and the ocean beyond.

The spacious ground-floor entrance heralds the generous proportions of this threestorey home comprising two living rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Literally topping the splendour off is the private main suite with wrap-around deck in which to luxuriate. Everywhere you turn on each level, vantage points capture the ever-changing hues of the ocean, reflecting a journey of transformation where architectural innovation meets the tranquillity of coastal living.
