Te Pouaka House

A carefully considered simple composition, Te Pouaka sits within a unique development in the heart of one of Napier’s mixed-use coastal suburbs, rich in industrial history.

This modest home, designed to reflect its surrounding built environment, appears as a closed box during the day filtering adjacent industrial activity and then opening afterhours to reveal the unique environment and stunning vistas from which it sits within. This wonderful, filtered engagement provides passive separation between inside and out.

The natural flow of spaces, connected by contrasting concrete volumes, separates different functions of the home that can easily cater for two families. Selected external materials and colours are bold and strong, contrasting with the warmth and richness of the interior.

The result is an exciting, adaptable family home and retreat, unique to its location and needs of the owner.
