Building a Dream Home on a Hidden Beach in New Zealand (House Tour)

- On the north-eastern side of the Coromandel Peninsula lies Waimataruru, a dream home by Pac Studio and Kristina Pickford Design. Positioned just above the beach and embraced by a regenerating native forest, Waimataruru is the dream home of Kristina Pickford, who oversaw the interior design. The client requested that Pac Studio create a dynamic home in an environment that allowed the owner to engage with the restoration and rehabilitation of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, the site’s typography played an important role in the arrangement of the dream home and, as such, Pac Studio arranged the architectural features to seamlessly cascade down the natural slope of the site.
The house tour shows there is a unifying quality to the home to be admired. Choosing to keep the spaces within the home linked together - differentiated only by floor level - Pac Studio creates a dream home that imbues a feeling of depth thanks to clear sightlines of expansive views outside. Though exposed to the elements, the residence is built to withstand the dryness of summer, heavy rainfall in spring and autumn and the chill of winter. Responding to the varied weather conditions, Pac Studio added a filtered edge to the northern façade as well as covered verandah-like spaces outside to protect occupants from the elements. Cosy interior design moments have also been added to provide a sense of comfort, such as rear pocket views of the forest behind. With an intentional duality, the architect has created a dream home that embraces both the northern beach and the southern forest.
As the home navigates a sloping site, Pac Studio designed each space to give its own individual experience of the landscape - through different colours and materials - to reflect the surrounding natural environment. Though timber is employed as the main element internally and externally, the additional red oxide wall takes centrestage. Lime plaster walls have also been enhanced by sand from the beach, and waxed steel provides a softness and warmth that further enriches the home’s detailing. Designed to be a dream home, Waimataruru provides the space to sit back and appreciate the surrounds.

The view from the home is breathtaking. I love how the home is nestled in the landscape. And I love how it's possible to be sheltered from the rain by the home yet one can still be outside to experience the weather. I love the duality of the home with darker woods to one side and then you open the door to a home with lightly colored woods. It's a beautiful home.
This clearly is one of my preferred houses presented on this channel - huge congrats!
That's a house to fall in love with. Beautifully calm, warm, and still engaging: different levels flowing into each other, revealing new cosy spaces.
The energy that you must feel in that house must be unrealistic...!!!❤🔥❤
Of all the towering achievements with this beautiful and powerful home, I think the use of timber throughout is the hero. I love the display of indigenous art on the walls, the sand used in the red oxide wall, the location of the home and the reforestation project surrounding it
This home is a true representation of its environment.
Unbelievably beautiful. Simply stunning. The opening of the main door is a real “wow” moment.
Now that's a WOH setup. I would never leave my home if I had that. NZ is one of a kind, beautiful country.
4:12 i especially love that bowl with a chip on the side. LOVE that it stayed in the shot. Kia Ora. x
After La Casa Rosa this may be my second favourite home on this channel. Everything about this place is serene, cosy and timeless. Truly a dream home.
A quarter of this house and place and I’d be happy! 😇
The way that the entire structure and its internal space flows uninterrupted down the incline on which it rests is so inspired & unique. Bravo! 🙌
I love the location of this home. Breathtaking view of the beach to the north & the lush forest to the south. Smart design yet fully functional.
Thanks Local Project
Stunning. shows what you can do with thoughtful design and shed loads of money. I am completely green with envy.
haha same!
What a masterpiece. The builders done an amazing job!
Absolutely breathtaking. Stefan Denser
TLP always inspiring my art (way of living, being, my work, all the things) to another level 🙏🏻 thank you for sharing. Truly a gift. Also, the quote at 5:06. "It's difficult when you have such an extraordinary sight, because you only get one chance to make sure you do it properly. No second chances." That's a wisdom. 💫
Huge kudos to the designers! How intimidating would it be to intrude into that landscape with ANY manmade structure!?!
Hat’s off! Well done!
Great point!
I'm lost of words looking at all the houses.
Wow. Simply stunning.
I just love how the house frames these incredible views 1:11 2:29 3:33 3:36 - gorgeous !
Truly magical ✨️ almost at each angel number, too 👏🏻
Wow. So well thought out and with so much feel and authentic effort. Not just a story, but really in service to the surroundings and the people. Amazing outcome.
Sarosh, one of the directors at Pac is extremely knowledgeable and an incredible lecturer at the University of Auckland. Love it.
Absolutely stunning! Amazing job by the architect, builders and interior designer/homeowner.
Oh my god. This is unbelievably stunning.
Serene and beyond welcoming. So cozy and warm.
Gorgeous home and what a stunning site overlooking the ocean!
Wow wow. Absolutely breathtaking
WOW!!! Beautiful house and land!!!
Another favourite from this channel! Loove it!
This is a marvelous design. The sense of seperation and volume is very nice. Id enjoy experiencing a space like this. It would be fun to entertain, work and relax in. It must be very inspiring to be in.
One of the most beatfull house I have seen in this channel.
Absolutely stunning fantastic consideration of the existing topography by the Architect
Serene and beautiful, an artist paradise
Absolutely stunning home
Stunning!
Simple, natural and beautiful
#1 house of TLP. Congratulations!
Wonderful design and exceptional execution.
It looks like heaven....❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful. I am absolutely in love with this home
I think it looks amazing! Love it
Otama is easily my favorite place to go lol these people are unbelievably lucky to have this spot and house!
amazing house design and view
Exquisite. Bravo.
Love it so much!
Absolutely breathtaking. 🤎🖤❤️
I'm not usually a fan of too much timber, but this house pulls off quite a beautiful design.
Simple and elegant design, I saw a lot in the Fort Bragg area that a home like this would be perfect for, cheers!
Very serene aesthetic. BIG like! 🤙🏻🌱
BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍
Wow what an amazing plot of land
Beautiful, but why do architects always sound like a museum plaque?
I agree. And using words that even museums would baulk at.
El lugar dónde está ubicada es mágico y la casa está perfectamente integrada. El exterior con su madera gastada y los juegos de listones jugando con la luz, el interior elegante y con una modestia bella y llena de arte en sus espacios y matices de color. Orden, sencillez y acogedor. Es una de mis casas preferidas sin duda. Orgánica, viva, serena,integrada en el entorno.
wow.. what a location!
Local and yet universal project. Voila!
Great job.
😮this is an amazing house
Beautiful
Very promising side.
This is a beautiful house and I love that it's mentioned that the house, location, and people have a 'spirit' and that's what gives me goose bumps. A house is not just a house, it's more than that, and when design beautifully works with and enhances the spirit of the the place and the people, well in my opinion that's a master stroke. I think that the designs coming out of New Zealand are absolutely incredible. Well Done.
Stunning design and detail and oneness with its environment... well done !
5:23 I was impressed of that...
ابداع 😮
真好，这才是梦想的家。
Imagine this home somewhere in Takapuna, looking out to Rangitoto.. surely voted top 3 in my books
This is a dream of a home
Please include some information about costs of evrything in future episodes. Thanks.
its insane how rich people live. what a dream...
They don't. All these are vacation homes. I know as I belong to the same class as these peeps.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen. Deep respect to the care and consideration that went into it. Truly a marvel.
Some things I'm wondering about:
- How geographically reachable is it - can you practically live there?
- Was public nature sacrificed for this? How do you attain such a location?
- How does one get the funds to do something like this - can anyone with a normal job actually attain this or do you have to be born into wealth? Basically I'm curious about cost and the inside story :P
- Can anyone reasonably accomplish such a wonderful achievement without making it their lifes work, or should you devote your entire life to it? I guess not having kids helps
To answer all of your questions, you need to be wealthy to have this kind of house.
Integration of local landscapes and the building
🤩🤩🤩
Just extraordinary design and architecture. Just beautiful. What a privilege to have built and own a home like this.
The only thing that perplexes me is why The Local Project videos are so short. Most of the homes showcased could easily do justice to a 30 minute video.
😍
Wood is Good !
Is this location…. Perfection?
Good sustainability by incorporating the home into the landscape.. like the innovation of using the sea-sand in the wall. Wood is always a favouritw wt me, but i can't use too much because of termites....well done you two
I’m an engineer and hence can be a linear thinker; architects have sometimes baffled me, even though I worked with some as a fresh graduate.
This design and its description are wonderful. Seeing something of this beauty in my native land, while I’m baking hot in a poorly ventilated apartment in southern France, makes me want to be home.
While we’ll put a simple house on the family’s plot at the beach, I have big plans for creating a walkway through native bush on the slopes below.
you are good at your job and they are good at their jobs because they have been educated and trained in the field. Furthermore the local project shows the work that's a way above the average so don't worry and focus on your job.
This screams MONEYYYY
Especially in NZ
"what do you do at your home?"
"Sitting everywhere on different benches and chairs"
Looks beautiful in every way imaginable, but what occurred in Maui should make everyone proceed with caution when building in area with a heavy fuel (flammable material) load.🤔
🌻🕊️
Beautiful house! How were they able to legally build there?
devastated that I do not live in this house
REALLY want to find the interior items that were showcased in all LocalProject videos!!
Table lamps, Sofas, Tables, Chairs, and everything!!
How/where can I find them?!!?
Not bad
Love it so does termites
Don't have termites in New Zealand
@@sandrah5405 NZ has three native species of termites, but they are not as destructive or as invasive as overseas species.
Very general words, not presenting the details: what type of wood used, what type of plaster etc so people could benefit from those videos
Editable version.
How much does the house cost?
Did I understand right? Was this house built in a regenerating native forest? Is this right? Perhaps maintaining the forest is more important.
From the vid, the landowners are planting native bush (forest) on their section., which is now regenerating (selfseeding/seeded by birds coming there).
Nice home but I'm wondering what are the prospects of bush fire in this region in dry summer and how fireproof this home is?
So we don’t have a lot of bush fires in New Zealand (unless they are human made). The climate is not like Australia where it gets that hot and dry. You’re more likely to get beaten up in the wind in a house like this. Our forests in NZ are beautiful and can often be a bit damp!
Anyone know the chairs around 1:11?
35 years to rehabilitate.
Scrape and build a house.
But how they bring water and electricity there?
The Coromandel gets over 700mm of rain annually, so they would use rainwater. As far as power goes, it probably is closer than you realise to a (little) road and power lines. Or it could be offgrid (solar).

No beach is "hidden" as it can always be seen from boats at sea.
