This project is a new holiday home located within a coastal golf resort north of Auckland. The site, essentially a gently sloping sand dune provides magnificent views to the ocean beyond, and over the golf course to the wider natural landscape to the west.
The Muriwai house is a weekend house used by a couple throughout the year as an escape from their urban working lives, located on a steep site perched above the ocean and Muriwai beach.
After a decade or so of owning a coastal holiday house a few houses back with limited views, the clients, an Auckland family of five, decided to take the plunge and when one of the last beachfront sites became available they bought it and set about designing a house for their lifestyle.
