Coast Homes - Lot 137

This two-storey residence at 519 Gloucester Road, Papamoa, combines a relaxed coastal character with a contemporary architectural response. The design is articulated through a series of simple gabled and rectilinear forms, finished in a restrained palette of natural vertical timber, light rendered walls and dark aluminium joinery. Generous glazing brings natural light into the living spaces and strengthens the connection to the street, while recessed balconies and timber screening provide privacy, shade and visual depth. The corner frontage is softened by low rendered walls, timber fencing and layered coastal planting, creating a clear transition between private outdoor areas and the public realm. Overall, the house has a warm, refined and residential scale, with natural materials and simple forms giving it a strong sense of place within Papamoa’s coastal setting.
