Feaver Residence, Tauranga, NZ

This home was designed and built on Papamoa Beach Road in Mount Maunganui with coastal living in mind. As always the brief was very challenging with the clients wanting all their living areas on the top floor. Read more... This home has been designed with a "push me"/"pull you" reversible approach in mind that allows our clients to find shelter and enjoy views in any weather condition or direction. The plan is very much double-ended, symmetrical and reversible on the ground and second floors giving flexibility and function through design. The 2nd floor miraculously houses a unique centrally designed kitchen, dinning area, day bed, full lounge, toilet, lift and large cantilevered decks front and back. This is a hugely successful design allowing circular flow, light, views, comfort and family activities to all come together. The 1st floor houses the master bedroom, ensuite, office, two guest bedrooms, guest bathroom, separate toilet, lift and large decks to the north. The ground floor follows the "push me"/"pull you" approach with a central games room opening onto fully covered decks front and back, a self contained guest suite, kitchenette, separate toilet, entry, double garage and workshop. The end result is an amazingly functional family home that truly maximises our clients investment and future chosen lifestyle.
