The Lake Tarawera House, nestled on a serene lakeside site in the Bay of Plenty, is the final family home to bridge the owner's past with their future. 

As you pass the curved block wall of the entryway and move inside, a gradual unveiling of beauty awaits, revealing a panoramic view from the open-plan living area. With expansive glass doors, the boundaries between inside and outside are allowed to dissolve onto an elegantly floating front deck. The home sweeps out of the landscape with serpentine retaining walls below. Designed with forever in mind, every detail, from the cleverly crafted exterior to the fine finishing touches, contributes to a home where life is lived fully and presently.
