This stunning piece of land facing the iconic Kapiti motu, deserved a beautiful house and Cameron Builders have more than delivered. The house sits lightly on its beachfront section, not overwhelming the natural environment, instead complimenting it with hazy blues and grey colour tones. The exterior is predominantly covered in cedar, with cedar battens used to good effect in creating a textural coastal feel. The detail and craftsmanship is obvious before you even enter the front door.
The exterior gives way to a home which guides you towards the relaxing seascape view, that you can access from a number of different entertaining zones. The vibe is relaxed and informal, whether you are sitting around a roaring fire watching the weather roll across the Tasman Sea, strolling out to a sun dappled deck for a morning cuppa or taking time to talk to the cook at the kitchen island.
This house has a holiday feel, while being well proportioned for all manner of entertaining.
The house is built for optimum performance in the harsh coastal elements, with Cameron Builders insisting on building to ‘above code’ standards when insulating and glazing. With floor to ceiling windows and well placed concrete floors, the sun is trapped and utilised for solar gain, while internal sliding doors allow for easy heat control, summer and winter.
Cameron Builders used a wealth of experience to make this Waikanae beauty come to fruition. With 23 years of industry experience and local knowledge put to good use here, the house is a symbol of valuing quality craftsmanship, innovation and never being happy with just ‘good enough’.
More than that, when the build was complete the clients described the journey they had taken in completing this home, as ‘fun’. It is no wonder then that this house not only looks beautiful, but is an absolute dream to live in.
