Bay Of Islands Architecture : Mahinepua House
Mahinepua Bay
No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.
~ Frank Lloyd Wright
With a 360 degree vista this home overlooks Mahinepua Bay in the Bay of Islands with a roof form that follows the contour of the hilltop. Majestic views shape the design that nestle into the ridge and cleverly mimic the landform around it.
Multiple large windows and doors open to provide indoor/outdoor connection and nesting areas sheltering the occupants from the elements.
