Tākapu

Project Profile

Tākapu is a coastal residence completed by Daniel Marshall Architects in Waimarama, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. Set below a ridge overlooking Ocean Beach, its linear plan responds to prevailing southwesterly winds. A cantilevered living room and two terraces divide and reconnect private and communal areas, recalling the outstretched wings of a gannet. Sandstone-toned board-formed precast concrete and oiled western red cedar anchor the building in its coastal landscape.
