coastal construction
Coastal and waterfront construction comes with its own set of challenges. We’ve been building in these environments for decades. And over that time, we’ve developed systems that others are still working out — practical, proven ways to handle site conditions, coordinate trades, and manage the build process with minimal risk and maximum efficiency.
These systems don’t just reduce headaches — they can also save money through reduced labour hours, fewer delays, and smarter sequencing on site.

Tideway Home
This coastal home is a deeply personal expression of place, crafted with natural timber inside and out to reflect its connection to the land and sea. From the moment you arrive, there’s a strong sense of wairua—spirit and presence—woven into every detail.
Throughout the home, custom-built furniture and timber finishes create a warm, grounded feel. The owners have worked closely with the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute to incorporate meaningful cultural elements—like stair detailing inspired by whakairo rākau (traditional carving) and a bespoke woven headboard, each piece telling its own story.
A sunken outdoor seating area and carefully designed flow between indoor and outdoor spaces invite connection, rest, and reflection. Tucked away from the main home, a fully renovated studio offers the ultimate teenage retreat.
This is more than a house—it’s a thoughtfully crafted home that honours its surroundings and the people who shaped it.
