Papamoa Beach House
Design: Herbst Architects / Photography: Jackie Meiring
Located in New Zealand's harbourside city of Tauranga, Papamoa Beach House pushes the boundaries of the 'typical' beach house aesthetic.
Herbst Architect's design for Papamoa Beach House is versatile, allowing the dwelling to be utilised as either a primary house or holiday home. Its interior encapsulates the functionality of a home whilst exuding a relaxed and luxe ambience transporting its residents into 'holiday mode'. Its timber clad exterior is a nod to its surroundings and a reminder of its beach-side location.
The interior of Papamoa Beach House is unique as it transcends the usual coastal theme of a light and bright colour palette. Instead, Herbst Architects opted to create an elegant interior with dark and moody undertones transforming the house into a haven for relaxation. The walls and ceiling are clad with dark stained cedar panels, while the interior is finished with dark trims and details adding to the rich aesthetic.
Papamoa Beach House is the perfect combination of functionality and elegance balancing the everyday purpose of a home with the relaxed aesthetic and ambience of a holiday house.
