Karitane Holiday House

Karitane Holiday House

Karitane Beach, Coastal Otago

Positioned at the beachfront of Karitane Beach in Coastal Otago, this house is a series of simple forms built around a sheltered west facing courtyard. Views to the ocean and morning sun are maximised by the use of a corner window seat and sliding doors. The living space opens to a sheltered outdoor living room perfectly suited for afternoon sun.

“The house forms are robust, materials textured, and spaces light filled, giving this house its straightforward appeal for both the owners and visitors."
