Location: Takapuna, New Zealand
The residence was designed for a patron of the arts on top of a cliff in the coastal suburb of Takapuna, New Zealand by architect Pip Cheshire whilst at Jasmax prior to setting up his own firm. Despite the limited palette of materials and the sedated expression of the form, the language of the architecture boasts a pedigree in a home that is both rich and complex, dually fort-like yet open.
