The Esplanade House
Residential Interior Category Finalist
Project Description:
Colour abounds in this eclectic home by the sea at Raumati
South, Paraparaumu. Natural concrete blocks treated with Dulux
acrylic glaze form the back walls of the spaces. The house is
buried 3 sides in the
ground and varied ceiling heights and planes were required to
meet site build restrictions and give the illusion of space.
The clients wanted to highlight the shapes, the extensive sea
views and their contemporary art collection. Each bedroom has its
own colour to compliment the artwork style displayed.
When the house was repainted last year in the new colours the
clients were tempted to go 'white' in the more 'gallery' style of
small homes, however the love of colour won the day.
