Waimarama House - New Zealand by Herriot + Melhuish Architecture Ltd



The client's request was to a beach house for the family, with four bedrooms, a main study plus an extra study. In this coastal scenery, sun, views and alternative living spaces, outdoor and protected from wind and sun, were a priority for the design of the house. Without forgetting its heritage, the house combines traditional materials in harmony with contemporary forms. A wood siding made of boards, rectangular, overlapping each other is interrupted by large glazed openings that maximize natural light and fantastic views of the landscape.
