Coastal Residence

This house sits majestically above a Whangaparaoa beach with grandstand views to the north and terraced gardens leading down 50 metres to the water's edge. With echoes of a villa in France or somewhere in the Caribbean, the two storeys of living rooms rests on a basement level of wine cellar and pool terrace with a gracious loggia offering shade and shelter to laze by the pool and be mesmerized by the view. Timeless materials have been used throughout to give this family home a relaxed ambience that might be expected of a much more mature, well loved, residence.
