A Stunning Coastal Holiday Home Unfolds Around a Private Golfing Green and a Japanese Water Garden
This Leigh holiday house by Belinda George Architects offers spatial variation, highly contrasting experiences, and a bespoke solution that reflects its owners’ personalities.
One of the owners of this Leigh home has been described as someone who enjoys the quiet, more meditative things in life; the other is said to be a highly sociable executive often jet-setting to look after overseas businesses. The former spends his free time carefully tending to his gardens, while the latter’s idea of downtime involves working on her golf swing.
That this New Zealand home was built upon a ridgeline that separates two, very distinct outlooks seems like a fitting metaphor for two very different personalities.
To the south-west of the ridge is a bucolic rural scene. Here, the house is lined by an immaculate Japanese water garden of stones, gently running water, and sculpturally arranged flora. Built close to the pond’s edge, the house appears as if floating, while the constant sound of flowing water serenades an internal snug that contains a library and reading room.
On the north-east elevation, however, everything has been built to take in the vastness of Matheson Bay and the dramatic and instantly recognisable slope of Little Barrier Island in the distance. This is a bird’s-eye, undisturbed view of the roaring sea and relentless sky.
Architect Belinda George says that during the early design process, “The house started to expand [in order] to reflect the clients’ different needs.”
She explains that her main objectives were to celebrate the grandeur and the expansive views while creating intimate cosy spaces.
Having the house perched directly on the off-set ridgeline provided a simple solution to creating spatial variation internally. George then contrasted this with a series of external sharp peaks that erupt and fold as if dictated by the hill’s contour.
“The more intimate spaces are on the western side of the house, and then the larger, open spaces include the main bedroom at one end and the living room at the other. It just seemed absolutely perfect that it sat on the ridgeline itself.”
As the owners spend much time travelling, and both their garden and the small golf area need constant attention, a decision was made to incorporate two other buildings on the site: a minor dwelling for a groundkeeper and a sizeable shed.

In rural Hawke's Bay, this modernist pavilion by Dorrington Atcheson Architects makes the most of its location with a deceptively simple design. The house is a strikingly modern, elegantly balanced, and a creatively playful response to the brief. The views are the hero, with dramatic vistas across a deep escarpment, and out to the ocean. The design is made up of three core elements. A single re...

    As an architect the design doesn't set well with me especially the inside of the inside space doesn't serve much purpose, secondly the inside of the inside space only gets diffuse light which i wouldn't like in an area with such natural beauty. But I'm all up for experimental design because it give you a different viewpoint, so Bravo for the execution.
