Beach House Buckleton’s Beach

This Buckletons Beachhouse is a stunning architectural masterpiece located on a prominent headland location that offers unsurpassed gulf and harbour views to Kawau Island and beyond. The house is constructed from concrete, steel and glass, and is divided into two pavilions for living and sleeping. The polished concrete aggregates, texture and patterning create a solid and enduring look. The neutral interiors provide an inviting backdrop, while the native timbers salvaged from the seashore and eclectic collections personalize and connect to the heart. The splashes of red from New Zealand’s native pacific pohutukawa tree represent the Christmas flower of joy and celebration – a client favourite. Originally briefed as a weekend retreat, the energy of the home has enticed the owners to move in permanently. The LBG team really enjoyed the challenge building this home presented and were proud to see the chopsticks bring the build to life. The house was designed by Pacific Environment Architects and the photos were taken by Lucy Gauntlett.
