Description:

Panorama sits in a quintessential New Zealand coastal setting, where the intersection of nature and built form is carefully curated and holistically held in balance, bringing both experiences into sharper focus.

Overlooking Maramaratotara and Mercury Bay, this project creates unobstructed panoramic views while preserving the existing vegetation. The design features a grounded stone base and a floating cedar box, providing a blend of solidity and lightness.

This multi-generational home includes shared spaces and private retreats, ensuring comfort and privacy for the extended family.

Inspired by the essence of the traditional New Zealand bach, the home enables relaxed holidays while providing the comforts of modern life. An underground tunnel adds a sense of surprise and adventure. Panorama enhances both the landscape and the living experience for its inhabitants.
