Champagne gold and pastel purples; sunrise and sunsets
shape the scene for this blended family home.
There are curated outlooks and joyful vignettes.
It’s grounded with plaster and dressed in a subtle timber tone.
This home is dashing,
and there’s room for all.
There’s room for dancing,
and there’s room to mingle and sprawl.
But this home is delicate, this home is enduring.
There are pockets of privacy and moments of retreat.
The thresholds are soft and the bathrooms alluring.
It’s also comfy for two, for those who wish to be discrete.
Happy clients
happy hour’s now on the deck
HOME.
2021 HOME magazine Rural Home of the Year.
Cleverly modelled with a mannered response to the surrounding neighbourhood, this holiday house fits easily into its coastal and rural setting.
The stained cedar upper cladding changes colour with the light and lends a subtle presence to the exterior. The well-appointed and comfortable interior and outdoor living spaces ably cater for a couple or a holiday crowd. The quality of the bathrooms is particularly worthy of mention.
Both restful and lively, a house of many moods.

“Named the Rural Home of the Year 2023, this family bach on a remote stretch of the Coromandel coastline choreographs a series of soft thresholds, from communal and public to deeply private.”

“An intimate lounge folded into the cedar with a woodburner and deep window seat.”

The 2021 Rural Home of the Year explores retreat and openness, gracefully unfolding between retired paddock and coastline.
Beneath a pleated and folded form, it is a house of well-balanced tensions: intense light and dark, intimacy and expanse; versatility and connections.

As a builder working in the Coromandel, I’ve had the pleasure of building their Hill to Horizon home, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Jeremy is easy going and answered my calls and questions as soon as they arose. And the attention to detail in his construction drawings was excellent which helped our work on site.
I wouldn't hesitate to work with Jeremy (Studio Brick Architects) again.

The lingering departure: a wide in situ concrete stair descends slowly, built for a long goodbye.
