WAIMARAMA HOUSE

A new beach house vernacular in New Zealand - Herriot + Melhuish.

The design approach combined a rational geometrical sensibility with a romantic attachment to the land and tradition. Hence a simple composition of two interlocking volumes: a white bedroom wing, loosely derived from the repetitious plan of 'shearers quarters', inserted into a double height 'timber 'crate'.
