Toothill House
Simple materials such as corrugated steel cladding, structural steel and cedar cladding have contributed to the evolution of an inspired beach house located on a site with spectacular views to offshore islands on the Coromandel Peninsula.
In keeping with the clients’ expectations of a simple holiday lifestyle, a terracotta floor that extends to an outside terrace reinforces a casual dialogue between internal and external spaces.
Curved roof forms encompass the main structure, while sail-like awnings manipulate the play of shadowy light to the interior evocative of frothing waves.
