Island Retreat


This retreat for a family is an arrangement offreestanding structures around a courtyard, set in asaddle above Matiatia Bay. The environment of WaihekeIsland can be idyllic, but also inhospitable with exposure to northerlies and southwesterlies of the Hauraki Gulf.The natural undulations of the saddle have been subtly emphasized to form a protective setting for threestructures, a pool and the open spaces between.
