Beach Retreat

Russel, New ZealandDesigner: Pete Bossley ArchitectsContributed by: Pete_Bossley_Architects

On a waterfront site in the Bay of Islands, five separate wings are located to reinforce the natural typography and create a sense of community around the central living area. Three of the wings are cut deep into the hillside: one of them has the pasture rolling across the roof. The central wing is identified by the elegant curves of a hyperbolic paraboloid roof which floats over the multiple living areas.
