Estuary View | Diana Blake Design, Architect

Anchored back to the hillside on a robust precast concrete base this home settles gracefully over looking the Whangamata estuary.

Muted timber & concrete tones contrast with the dark aluminium features creating a sense of calm permanence.

A cantilevering roof form with retracting frameless glass panels protects the outdoor entertaining from the elements with a backdrop of a curving in-situ concrete retaining wall softened by hanging greenery.

An interior oak clad spine guides you up the floating stairs & into the generous living spaces with a glass walled link bridging between public and private spaces.

The oak flooring continues up the double sided gas fireplace with built in timber shelves creating a cosy retreat to sit back & enjoy the stunning views.
