Located at the foothills of the Kaimai Mamaku range in Katikati, Bay of Plenty, with expansive views of the Tauranga Harbour and Matakana, this concept design addresses the programmatic functions of a family of four, friends, and guests, offering a modern outpost for mountain bike adventures in the property.

The design concept boasts of two gabled roof pavilions - a tribute to the iconic rural structures of the area - one designed for the family, featuring 3 bedrooms and a spacious open living area, and a larger pavilion, equipped with bunk beds and amenities for groups as large as 12 people.

High cathedral ceilings, exposed rafters and a robust material palette consisting of Colorsteel Matt Flaxpod and Abodo Vulcan Patina finish weatherboards, the designs converse with the context, sitting at home at the rural backdrop.
