CONTEMPORARY COASTAL NEW-BUILD - SPINNAKER BAY 

In an area of new development, where all the houses seemed to look the same, our discerning clients wanted to create a standout.

The site, belonging to two first time homeowners, who's extensive research, planning and aesthetic principals led hem to a precise brief; a distinct design, that was classical in profile, enduring in style and low to upkeep.

Designed by Michael Macfie of Macfie Architecture, the two-storey new-build uses the iconic New Zealand gable form, taking influence from the original kiwi bach’s which were first built in the area.

Selecting the timeless timber bevel back weatherboard and James Hardie Axon panel for its low maintenance function.

The open lower levels light and airy feel flows fluidly through the multiple living spaces, up to the three bedrooms on the upper level.

The play of light and dark continues throughout – creating a lofty airy space, and purposeful shadows and screens for privacy.

The result; a contemporary abode for one very cool coastal couple.
