Coast Papamoa Lifestyle Home - House of the Year 2021

Papamoa

Congratulations to the team at JBH Building for the incredible build of this Papamoa home we designed with and for the owners. Entered into the House of the Year competition and bringing home a Gold Award recognising the incredible build quality and finishing of this ICF home.

Located on a prime section within the boutique beachside subdivision of Coast Papamoa lies a modern three-storey townhouse. Maximising generous site covenants and drawing on the client’s wish to integrate strong geometric shapes, the house is a fusion of stacked traditional and functional forms and a simple, yet sophisticated, traditional kiwi design style. 

Emphasis has been placed on multifunctional zones across all three levels which have superb views over to the beach and west towards Mount Maunganui. 

A well-defined entrance at ground level leads to a generous guest suite or towards the feature stairwell which provides access to the floors above. Three car garaging, ample storage and plenty of utility space completes the ground floor. 

The first level is a split of double bedrooms with bathrooms and the main living space. The living space is a mix of indoor and outdoor zones designed for ample solar gain while being sheltered from harsh afternoon sun by a bank of opening louvers. Large northwest facing decks project over the section and have excellent views of the beach and Mount Maunganui to the west. 

Finally, the second level contains the master suite with views for up down and across the coast while maintaining absolute privacy. A generous office is located on the upper floor to get some work done when required. In saying that, any office work will be difficult thanks to the views in the opposite direction.

A durable palette of Oamaru stone, Sto plaster and cedar claddings help nestle this home into the coastal environment. Contemporary, bold but relaxed, this house will offer its owners a peaceful and enjoyable lifestyle for years to come.

Feedback from our client:

"To Andre, Steve and everyone at Creative Space. Our house in Papamoa is really starting to come together. I just want to give you a big 👍👍 for the wonderful design you gave us. The layout is fantastic and the way the views are framed is spectacular. It truly is all we imagined and more."

Testimonial

I just want to say to those of you who worked on our home - what a great place it has turned into. Just the feelings of space and style it gives. After a month here we have not found anything that we do not like, or anything that we think should have been different. The spaciousness is wonderful, the suitability to the site is fantastic. 

Simply, it is a great piece of design work which has brought only positive comment from all of our once-sceptical neighbours.

“Congratulations on a very good set of working drawings – the best I’ve seen for a long time.  Clear, well presented and concise.”

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with all aspects of my renovations!

I really like your simple and functional design. I think the best has been made of my 1950's house, and we are all enjoying the open plan living space created.

...

Thank you to all of you for your fantastic efforts."

“We are very pleased that Creative Space managed the process of adding a family room to our home. The addition room is working well and the functionality this brings to our property has certainly been recognised by others as a valued addition and well designed. We are very happy that we engaged Creative Space to help us through the design and build of our additional family room and we feel this expansion of our home has added more value than cost. Thank you.”

Darren and Angela Hill

“Creative Space was responsible for designing and project managing the very significant modifications and extensions to our beach house at Little Bay, a remote part of the northern Coromandel Peninsula.  The outcome is excellent: a house with which we are pleased and content to live in, a house that has clever and appropriate design that we enjoy every time we live in it – it has grown on us and we appreciate the careful detail and the attention to critical issues, such as deck space, views, livability, functionality and practical features.

“We are so, so thrilled with our alterations. We were sure that we could do something with the house when we bought it but what we have ended up with is a home that surpasses anything we had imagined. Everybody who visits us is blown away by the outcome of our alterations. We would both like to thank Creative Space for coming up with a design that was truly "beyond our expectations".

"I would like to extend a personal thank you on the amazing work you have done for us in getting Papamoa through in a tight timeframe.

Thank you for your diligence and patience. And I look forward to partnering in the new year to see them come to reality."

"Some time ago I was introduced to the team at Creative space through a mutual colleague. 

When under some work pressure, I decided to give them a try to see if they could help me out. The team did what I needed and were receptive to my constant phone calls and minor adjustments. They prepared a resource consent which was granted in a few days, and now I have a building consent in process through them too.

I am happy, their work is to a high standard. I look forward to working with them again soon. Many thanks."

We are extremely happy with our new house. All that we deliberated on was worth it and Creative Space supported and guided us through it all.

 

Regan was a pleasure to guide us through this project, ensuring that we were thinking hard about every space in the house, and how we needed it to function. He was professional while also personable and was always available to support us and go over any issues in the project, from initial decision of what we were going to do,  to liaising with the builder in the finer details.
