NZIA New Zealand Award for Architecture

Slicing into a grassed headland which projects into the Mahurangi Harbour, Waipiata is beautifully integrated into the landscape with its composition of recessive living spaces between powerfully expressed horizontal roof planes and terraces. The broad horizontal roofs topped with shiny black pebbles and staunch precast walls devise masterly views into the surrounding coves.

Just as water plays an important visual role in the identity of the house, so too does light, with its ever-changing, almost physical manifestation.  "Allowing the light to carve up the spaces means you never get the same sense of the house on a day-to-day – or even on a minute-to-minute – basis. Each person's experience of, and relationship to, the house is unique".

As well as being a family home, the house operates as a boutique lodge.  The intention with the design was to give visitors a sense of escape.  It makes sense then that the homeowners too, should benefit from the tropical vacation feel within their own private space.

How a building will relate to its surroundings plays an important role not only in the eventual design of the house, but also in how the occupants will interact with both. A harmonious relationship between the built and natural environments will permeate all levels.
