Marine Parade renovation • Under construction

Working with the existing home, we’ve pushed the front of the house out to maximise the available front setback.

The result? More space, stronger connection to the coast, and uninterrupted views towards Mount Maunganui.

A renovation that’s all about making the most of what’s already here — while completely changing how the home lives.

P**i Road Residence • Whangamatā

A coastal home shaped by memory, place and a considered response to its surroundings.

Transforming a long-held family bach into a permanent home, the design balances the informality of its history with a refined contemporary approach.

Interconnected volumes, carefully positioned openings and a restrained material palette create a home that embraces natural light, ventilation and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Coastal Site · Renovation

A complete reconfiguration - Ground floor to upper floor.

This beachfront renovation was designed around one idea: let the outside in. Multiple outdoor spaces adapt to weather and sun path — critical living by the coast — while brick veneer and aluminium weatherboard bring a low-maintenance, modern aesthetic built to age well.

Behind the design • We were back on site with Jon, taking a look through this soon to be completed costal home in Mount Maunganui.

Designed to capture the all day sun, the home opens onto a generous wraparound deck, making the most of its position and ocean views. A lock and leave, low maintenance home, it combines European brick with vertical aluminium cladding and subtle cedar accents that really make the exterior pop.

We’re super excited to see this one finished soon.

New project • We’re looking forward to seeing this Te Puna home get underway.

The design is predominantly expressed through board-formed in-situ concrete, complemented by Sugi weatherboards and Corten steel. A garden roof is also integrated into the design, adding another layer of texture while strengthening the connection between the home and its surrounding landscape.

We can’t wait to see this one take shape.
