Coastal retreat · The Coastal Residence

A quieter kind
of coastal luxury.

A home shaped by its horizon. Warm cedar, pale stone and beautifully proportioned living spaces come together in a residence designed to slow the pace of everyday life.

The vision

A home with
purpose.

The brief

Create a private coastal retreat that feels effortless in every season. The client’s vision centred on generous spaces for family, a seamless connection to the landscape and a material palette that would become more beautiful with time.

Our approach

A carefully sequenced build brought the envelope, glazing and interior finishes together with precision. Deep eaves temper the summer sun, sheltered outdoor rooms extend the living space, and a restrained palette lets the architecture speak.

The defining detail

Resolved with
precision.

The defining detail is the junction between the cedar-lined gable and the limestone walls. Concealed fixings, considered drainage and consistent shadow lines give the house its calm, resolved character.
