Hereperu.

Designed by Archistudio, this stylish home sits high above the Bay of Plenty coastline and enjoys all-day sunshine. Cleverly placed windows frame rural and sea views out to the Pacific Ocean. An expansive north-facing deck flows directly out from the main dining and living to create the ultimate entertainment area. Or, take in the views from inside where a wood fire, surrounded by schist, keeps everyone cosy.

The sophisticated kitchen has a custom-glass splashback and stone benchtops. Downstairs you’ll also find two double bedrooms, a generous tiled bathroom with black tapware and a separate laundry. Upstairs a large parents retreat includes a master bedroom, walk in wardrobe, ensuite and second living area. Vertical timber cladding, contrasting aluminium joinery, and a coloursteel roof complete the striking exterior.
