Commissioned by a creative family in Mount Maunganui, this backyard studio was designed as a serene extension of their beachside lifestyle.

At just 41m², the space accommodates a generous open-plan room with a bed, desk, kitchenette, and bathroom, alongside a large storage area — all crafted to feel light, open, and connected to the outdoors.

Natural vertical shiplap timber and classic weatherboards echo the existing home and coastal surroundings, blending the new with the familiar.

Simple, timeless, and versatile, this studio reflects our commitment to creating spaces that support life’s evolving rhythms while respecting place and context.
