This coastal retreat at Waihi Beach serves as a serene getaway for its owners, offering a tranquil haven to enjoy the natural beauty of the Bay of Plenty. The original home on the property was thoughtfully relocated, making way for the construction of this stunning new residence. Designed with modern elegance and functionality in mind, the home harmoniously blends with its beachside surroundings, providing a perfect sanctuary for relaxation and recreation.
The owners of this home have cherished visits to Waihi Beach since childhood. Now, with their own children, they envisioned a space to create lasting memories together. The design brief was clear: craft a home that embodies a beachy aesthetic, offers practicality, boasts architectural interest, and feels homely—inviting everyone to relax and unwind as soon as they step through the door.
A harmonious blend of soft whites, earthy wood tones, stone tiles, and subtle accents of duck egg blue was thoughtfully integrated throughout each space. This cohesive palette not only unifies the home's aesthetic but also frames the expansive windows, ensuring every room captures the breathtaking views of Waihi Beach.
The design draws inspiration from the natural surroundings, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the coastal landscape. Materials like stone and timber evoke the textures of the beach, while the restrained color scheme mirrors the serene hues of the sea and sky.
