PROJECT DETAILS:
LOCATED ON THE PAUANUI WATERWAYS IN THE COROMANDEL, THIS BUILDING USES PAIRS OF STONE CLAD FINS AND A ZINC ROOF TO DELINEATE ITS STRONG LINEAR FORM AND MODULATION.
The see-through living pavilion opens out over a large swimming pool to the waterways on the east and back into a more sheltered and private landscaped courtyard to the west. Local stone cladding articulates the exterior sitting on a honed flagstone podium. The external stone cladding continues into the interior and the flagstone flooring transitions seamlessly indoors as a polished surface, reinforcing the material continuity and grounding the home in its natural setting.
