Takahē House

The site is located on the edge of a protected coastal reserve supporting many animal, insect and plant species not found further inland. Materials for the exterior have been selected for durability and robustness in a severe marine environment, while interior finishes complement the exterior but with a more relaxed, homely feel.

The plan is organised around a central ‘Board walk’, creating a spine that links the garage, bedrooms and living areas. The kitchen, centrally located, acts as a hinge and focal point of the house and opens onto courtyards. Dining and living zones share views of the sea and Kāpiti Island.
