Papamoa Beach Road

Minimal Living by the Sea

Tucked into a compact coastal site, this beachside home proves that intelligent design can outshine sheer size. Every square metre has been thoughtfully utilised, delivering a spacious feel without compromising on simplicity or style.

Designed for a young family with a love for minimalism, the home balances form and function effortlessly. The bold exterior pairs vertical black board and batten with warm horizontal cedar, creating a striking contrast that’s both contemporary and timeless. A cantilevered roof projects over the outdoor living zone, blurring the line between inside and out — an essential element for relaxed, coastal living.

Inside, the refined material palette continues. Rich textures, luxurious carpet, and carefully considered detailing elevate the interior, creating a cohesive and comfortable retreat. This is modern architecture with a coastal soul — compact, clever, and crafted for life by the sea.
