A beachfront loft
High on a cliff between Red Beach and Orewa, this family home delivers something beautifully unexpected.

Full height doors from the main lounge enhance the sense of verticality and a loft-like feel in this double-height space.
The mezzanine ensuite was designed so the bath felt as if it was part of the bedroom, at the end of a linear bathroom anchored by a recycled brick wall.
An exposed steel stair leading to the mezzanine bedroom is tinny underfoot - an unexpected experience in the residential setting.
A rusted steel door set directly into the brick feels almost as if entering the side door of a warehouse.
