这个度假住宅位于繁忙城市的隐蔽场地,它隐藏在一个巨大的pohutukawa树下,附近是一些零星的保留下来的木屋。设计的主要目标是创造出一个新的具备很大灵活性的住宅,同时保有现在家庭使用的当地木屋的那种简单,休闲的特性。设计的主要方法是设计一个单一的卧室度假住宅,卧室与开阔起居空间朝着海洋和太阳,设计还巧妙地融入了三个富余的小床,供客人居住。 Situated on a secluded site within the busy metropolis of Mt Maunganui, New Zealand, this holiday home is sheltered behind a magnificent pohutukawa tree and one of the few original beach cottages remaining along the beach. The key objective of the brief was to produce a new home that provided greater flexibility for extended family holidays but was still reminiscent of the spirit and character of simple, relaxed, laid back holiday living currently experienced when the family use the original cottage. The primary approach to this proposition was to design a single bedroom holiday home with the bedroom and open plan living area orientated towards the ocean view and the sun. However, the design of the home also discretely provides three additional sleeping areas for additional family and guests that does not intrude on the sense of the simple one bedroom holiday home.
