On the beach
Sand, sea and sky – the beachfront setting of this
new Lockwood home has influenced
every aspect of the design
A magical location is no guarantee your
new home will be exactly what you want,
and that is precisely why a customised
solution can be the best approach.
The owners of this new Lockwood
home on the dunes at Papamoa Beach
liked the Clifton concept plan, but they
fine-tuned the design to best suit their
preferences, says Paul Dean, managing
director of Oceanside Homes – Lockwood
franchisee for Tauranga.
“In the original plans, the house had
a void above the living area, but this was
62
replaced with the master suite on the
upper level, which maximises the view.”
Dean says the wood walls and sarking
on the ceiling were painted white to give
the home a beachy feel, reminiscent of
homes in the Hamptons and Cape Cod.
The owners are enjoying all the benefits
of a Lockwood home, including good
insulation, strength and durability – the
homes are watertight and earthquake
resilient. They are also a healthy option, as
the wood has dehumidifying properties
and allows the home to breathe.
