TAI TAPU

On the lower slopes of the Port Hills, this sculptural home nestles into its landscape. Swiss Pearl cladding forms a sharp black wedge, offset by monolithic white reliefs and natural plaster retaining walls. Timber decks and interiors add warmth. The design reduces its visual impact by bunkering into the hillside, while prevailing winds roll overhead. A bold yet sensitive response to the Outstanding Natural Landscape zone, the home demonstrates how sculptural form and material restraint can create harmony with its setting.
