Type: Residential
Location: Tara Iti Golf Course, New Zealand
Nestled beside the seaside fairways of Tara Iti, this single-level residence turns its face inward — wrapping itself around a luscious courtyard that becomes the quiet heart of daily life. Beyond its walls, the sea stretches wide and the rural landscape rolls gently into the distance. Within them, there is stillness.
Coastal living is generous, but it is also demanding. The wind here is a constant presence — a reminder of the raw, elemental world just beyond the dunes. This home responds thoughtfully, drawing people toward a sheltered, sun-drenched spaces designed for the full texture of life: long lunches, slow evenings, the simple pleasure of being outside without the world pressing in.
Clad in natural timber, the exterior asks little of the eye. It settles into the dunescape with quiet confidence — neither announcing itself nor disappearing, but belonging, in the way that the best architecture always does.
