Located on the hill above Kaiteriteri Beach, the house is embedded into the hillside, giving it a quiet sense of stability within the landscape. Custom bricks echo the colour and texture of the surrounding sand, while a cedar‑clad lookout projects outward like a piece of driftwood, lightly balanced above the recessed dark structure that holds the garage. Guest accommodation and three-car garaging complete the ground level, with the upper level organised around the multiple outdoor living environments. Throughout the home, the detailing is deliberate and crafted, allowing the coastal outlook to remain the defining feature.
