Te Horo Beach House

Commanding its site within the Te Horo sand dunes, the form of this home announces itself with a lantern-like clerestory under a rising roof plane. The compact, light-filled living space connects to an extensively replanted dune landscape and to Kapiti Island beyond. The dwelling offers retreat-like bedrooms and numerous deliberately framed views. A durable material palette of cedar cladding, timber linings and perforated sliding metal screens ensure a sympathetic yet engaging response to this harsh but beautiful coastal landscape.
