New Home over $4 million
SJR BUILDERS
Forever
set in stone
The brief was clear – build a beach house
that meets the needs of our multigenerational
family where extended
families can spend time together whilst
each having their own space.
The home is to be made
of enduring materials
that are natural in their
appearance and patina over
time. A place with a sense
of solidity and permanence,
knowing the place will be here
for the next 100 years.
Natural timbers and locally
sourced stone in the exterior
construction and finishing
in a natural colour palette,
subtly blends the house with
the surrounding environment.
The home consists of levels;
garaging, bedrooms, bathrooms
and living area on the
ground floor with main living
areas and guest suite upstairs.
Clever design has a dark negative
layer at ground level with
perforated views through the
Pohutukawa tree line.
The lightly weighted cedar
Ferry Landing
box sits at the top, floating
effortlessly above the tree canopy,
emphasising the abundant
panoramic views.
Expansive decks surrounding
the home provide outdoor
living and extended entertainment
areas. The lift moves
between the two home levels
and also leads to an underground
level, including a wine
cellar completed in stone. A
tunnel connects the holiday
home with the beach front
hideaway bunker.
