Mawhitipana House, designed by MacKayCurtis, perfectly embodies the owners’ desire to maximize sun exposure, capture stunning views, and enhance outdoor living. The house is a simple yet elegant response to these requirements, with a design that integrates thoughtfully into the landscape of Mawhitipana Bay
The site is a large dunescape, carpeted with Muehlenbeckia, which undulates and rolls SW to NE down to a long East Coast beach. Planning restrictions stipulated a 200m setback from the high-water mark.
Set on the tranquil Rangitahi Peninsula, the Sisters Sanctuary Retreat instils a sense of calm, beauty, and solidarity throughout. The home is a considered response to the social dynamic of the developing street to the west and the expansive inlet views to the east.
