Residential
An iconic and exposed coastal New Zealand landscape requires an equally iconic architectural proposition. This project undertakes a seemingly impossible ask: large-scale retractable sliding doors, minimal details and clean lines integrated with the architectural form, expansive openings and uninterrupted views in harmonious balance with inclement weather, extreme exposure, and very high winds.
In this house the technical and structural performance of the joinery and the architectural vision are in sympathy, each opening serves as a meticulously crafted view-finder, framing the natural environment while integrated with the interior spaces, offering internal courtyards and spaces to seamlessly integrate with the architecture.
This thoughtful approach not only enhances the visual experience within the residence but also establishes a harmonious connection with the world outside.
The challenging environment further emphasizes the project’s ability to withstand and thrive in such conditions, highlighting its architectural qualities.
