Some homes are admired. Others are experienced. 113 Karewa Parade belongs firmly in the second category.
Positioned directly on Papamoa Beach, this architectural residence brings together award-winning design, craftsmanship and a coastal setting that is almost impossible to replicate.
Designed by award-winning Herbst Architects, the home has received both an NZIA Architecture Award and Master Builders Gold Award- recognition of a design that is as thoughtful as it is striking.
Cedar-clad architecture and vertical batten sliders create privacy while drawing light and the coastal outlook through the home. Inside, expansive views stretch across the Pacific towards Motiti Island, placing the ocean at the heart of everyday living.
Rich Kwila flooring, custom birch ply cabinetry and bespoke seating bring warmth and texture, while stacking sliders open the living spaces towards the beach.
At the centre, the designer kitchen connects seamlessly with open-plan living. A private internal courtyard offers another layer of tranquillity, complete with a Japanese-inspired ofuro soaking tub, an intimate retreat just moments from the ocean.
The accommodation is equally considered, with four bedrooms in total. The master suite is a private sanctuary, featuring panoramic ocean views, a balcony, dedicated dressing room and elegant ensuite. Three additional bedrooms provide generous accommodation for family and guests.
This is more than a beachfront residence. It is a rare piece of architectural design, where materiality, light, landscape and ocean come together with precision.
Photographs cannot convey its atmosphere, scale or extraordinary relationship with the coastline.
An exceptional property of this calibre deserves to be experienced in person. A private inspection is essential; once you stand here, the difference is unmistakable.
