Hahei Beach House / Evelyn McNamara Architecture
Hahei Beach House, crafted by Evelyn McNamara Architecture alongside Chris Tate Architecture, tackles a steep coastal site with a striking modernist solution. By drawing inspiration from a majestic Pohutukawa tree at the property’s base, the architects created a series of cedar-clad “boxes” that appear to float above the slope—each supported by branching columns that echo the tree’s natural form.
