Cape Campbell Tranquillity

Designed to enjoy the stunning ocean panorama, sand dunes and views of Cape Campbell Lighthouse, this secluded Seddon home is a beacon of tranquillity.

Master Builders House of the Year - Marlborough/Nelson/West Coast New Home $300,000 - $400,000

The clean simple architecture of this three-bedroom dwelling, situated to remain safe from rising sea levels, blends beautifully into the environment. Surplus soil removed from part of the section has been re-purposed, so the house now seems to sit on a sand dune of its own. Parking is concealed under the house, so as not to disrupt the design’s clean lines.

Providing protection from the coastal environment, the east-facing alfresco room is capped off cleverly with just enough glass to soak up the sun’s warmth until evening. Shelter from the elements, and an outdoor fire and cooker, make this an ideal entertaining area.

The thoughtful layout and indoor-outdoor flow give a great sense of space on a 163sqm footprint. Timber is a feature inside and out, the interior inspired by a sample of silver-grey weathered drift wood. A naturally pleasing personal touch.
