Modern architecture with a coastal soul

Set within one of the area’s most tightly held pockets, a Mount Maunganui home with genuine architectural intent, beautifully resolved, and exceptionally liveable.

Designed by award-winning Registered Architect Brendon Gordon, this home exudes his studio’s philosophy rooted in the power of simplicity, the beauty of aesthetics, and the necessity of functionality. This home is beautifully composed, incredibly versatile, and offers a generous 263sqm (more or less) floor area. A timeless material palette underpins the design, with cedar and block cladding, polished concrete floors, raked ceilings, built-in shelving and feature timbers including Victorian Ash in the stairwell and balustrade, complemented by Tasman Oak detailing throughout.

The design pedigree is compelling: the home was one of just three Bay of Plenty entries selected for the ADNZ/Resene Architectural Design Awards (October 2015), recognised for its play of light and dark, sun and shade, and its distinctive quality of space.

The site has been expertly optimised, with the office + workshop + double garage + aquatic toy storage built into the contour on the ground-level, creating separation and an elevated main level for living and bedrooms. Living quarters are seamlessly flanked by multiple indoor-outdoor zones for sun, shelter and entertaining. The open plan living, dining and kitchen connects to two covered balcony's creating effortless flow for everyday living and hosting alike, while the easy-care garden is beautifully established with stunning sub-tropical plantings that enhance both privacy and outlook.

A particular highlight is the second living room, part media lounge, part library/reading room; a genuinely special space that changes how the home lives. From here, the rear-positioned primary suite feels indulgent and serene, with its own balcony, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a beautifully finished tiled ensuite with walk-in shower.

Clever zoning is a standout. The tiled main bathroom is set off the hallway creating a discreet rhythm through the home. It’s the kind of layout that feels quietly hotel-like, where guests can come and go, reset and recharge, without the main living areas ever feeling interrupted. A separate powder room completes the hosting setup.

The kitchen is designed for both everyday ease and entertaining, with a scullery and excellent working space, while comfort is taken care of with ducted heating and cooling throughout the upper floor, ceiling fans in the bedrooms, and commercial grade double glazing.

For Mount buyers, the parking flexibility is genuinely rare: two driveway entrances, including one with an automatic gate, ideal for a camper or boat, plus the ability to drive under the home into the internal-access double garage.

This is Omanu at its best. From your front door, stroll to Moa Park, Surf Road Cafe, Central Parade, or the award-winning Fife Lane. Zoned for Omanu Primary, Mount Intermediate and Mount College. Swim before breakfast, wander out to dinner, or bike downtown — the coastal rhythm is effortless and tightly held for good reason here.
