Designed to make the most of its elevated position, this 257sqm home responds directly to its coastal setting, capturing expansive views towards both the ocean and the Tararua Range. Arranged across two levels, the layout separates retreat from gathering. The lower level accommodates a garage along with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating a flexible zone for guests and family while allowing privacy and independence, without disconnecting from the rest of the home. Upstairs, the experience shifts towards outlook, light and shared living. The upper level combines kitchen, dining and living spaces beneath high ceilings and extensive glazing that frames the changing landscape beyond. A dedicated study sits alongside the main suite, which includes an ensuite and separate WC.

Joinery and built-in elements help organise the larger spaces, while maintaining a calm, uncluttered feel. Raked ceilings and broad glazing give the shared spaces an increased sense of openness, without adding unnecessary complexity. Careful orientation and covered outdoor zones help temper the exposure that can come with a coastal location, still allowing the home to maximise its setting and covetable uninterrupted outlook. Inside, a restrained material palette and carefully integrated storage support a calm and pared-back aesthetic. Clean lines and attention to detail reinforce the home’s coastal character, without competing with the outlook.
