Local Rock House - Beautiful Summer Home on Waiheke Island, New Zealand
About Pattersons
Architecture: Pattersons
Project: Local Rock House
Location: Waiheke Island, New Zealand
Year: 2010
The Waiheke island is the location for some of New Zealand's finest holiday houses and this summer residence is located on a steep coastal escarpment above white sand beach on the island's northern coast. The architects used local pyrite stone as building material to create design that belongs to sense of this place. The stone mass of the house was been arranged as a viaduct, open both sides to exploit both the afternoon sun and the beach frontage.
Description from architects
This design creates the New Zealand residence for an expatriate family. It is sited on a steep east facing coastal escarpment just above a pohutukawa fringed white sand beach. Its materiality and composition seeks to create a ‘sense of place in New Zealand’ for this family.
A rock mass forms a bridge to exploit both the sea frontage and limited westerly light. Under this, the living area nestles into the escarpment contrasting an intimate living terrace to the north-east with a grotto-like western courtyard. Bedroom areas are grouped above as finely scaled louvred lookouts at the canopy level of the pohutukawas. The building uses local materiality to become intimately scaled to ‘belong’ in its setting.
Beach house, Auckland, New Zealand
The owners of the beach house (Auckland, New Zealand) are returning to live in Waiheke Island after a long period in Asia. Perfect design and location make this home a nice place to take a rest for soul and mind.
