Kapiti Coast, Wellington

As a coastal holiday weekend retreat, this home needed to offer relaxing spaces, operate as a practical home away from home, and be durable for guests. The pavilion-style floorplan easily resolves the desire for separation/relaxing areas – separating the bedrooms in one wing from open-plan living and entertaining spaces. An interior black feature wall in the centre of the home creates a connection to the exterior vertical black weatherboards and horizontal cedar cladding. The clean lined kitchen mixes colours – including black and white – with textures – including warm hued oak cabinetry and cool stone bench tops and splashback. The integrated fridge and hidden walk-in pantry complete the crisp, easy maintenance streamlined look.
