Mō Ripple House Hoahoanga Whare Noho
He whare noho a Ripple House kei Poihākena, Ahitereiria. E tū ana te whare i runga i tētahi wāhi whāiti e 311 mita pūrua te rahi, ā, kei roto e whā ngā rūma moe, e toru ngā rūma horoi, e rua ngā tūnga waka, me ngā wāhi kīhini me ngā wāhi kai o roto, o waho hoki. He ārai i hangaia motuhaketia hei kanohi mua mō te whare. Kua tapahia te tauira pata wai ki te taiaho ki ngā papa konumohe, ā, kua whakapikoa ia papa kia pupū haere ai te āhua i runga i te mata. He kōeke paura mauroa hei tiaki i te konganuku i te rehu tote o te moana. Mā tētahi wāhi tuwhera kei waenganui e hono ai ngā papa e rua, e tautoko ai hoki te tuwheratanga, te māramatanga, me te taunekeneke i roto i te whare.

I Muri i te Hoahoa
Kete Pāpāho
Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.
- Āhuatanga Motuhake
- A sculptural piece of art in built form, this design transforms space into an ever evolving experience. The custom screen designed by the architect, casts dynamic light art, mimicking the fluid dance of water droplets as sunlight shifts throughout the day. Shadows ripple across surfaces, creating an interplay of movement and stillness. This fusion of architecture and light elevates the home beyond function, into an immersive, living artwork that responds to time, nature, and its inhabitants.
- Inenga & Pēketanga
- Each dwelling is situated on a compact land size of 311sqm. Each home consists of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car spaces, both and indoor and outdoor dining and kitchen areas.

- Hangarau Whakanao
- This design is a symphony of light, movement, and material. The water droplet inspired pattern is delicately laser cut into aluminium, each sheet gently curved to ripple across the façade like a flowing stream. Bathed in an anodised allure, the metallic powder-coated finish catches the light, shimmering like sunlit water. Beneath its beauty lies resilience; the Electro coating, crafted with advanced super-durable polyester thermosetting powder, ensuring its tale endures sea salt spray.
- Wero Hoahoa
- Designing Ripple House posed challenges in structure, materials, and execution. The open voids required precise engineering for stability, balancing openness with support. Built on sand, the home relied on screw piles for a solid foundation. The aluminum screen, laser-cut and assembled in segments, formed a flowing ripple effect while resisting sea spray corrosion. The floating marble island, curved and held by a wooden frame, demanded expert craftsmanship and structural reinforcement to achieve its sculptural lightness.
- Rangahau
- The design research blended site analysis, material testing, and engineering to balance aesthetics, function, and durability. It optimized light, airflow, stability, and material longevity in a coastal setting. Using digital modeling, prototypes, and simulations, data from soil tests, climate studies, and material evaluations informed decisions. Research ensured screw pile stability, aluminum corrosion resistance, and marble island support, setting new standards for resilient coastal design.
- Whakaaweawe
- Ripple House whispers the poetry of water, embodying fluidity and connection, inspired by the graceful, ever changing dance of droplets. This lyrical concept ripples through every detail, most vividly in the custom-designed front screen, a masterpiece by the architect. Its pattern, an elegant ballet of converging and diverging droplets, stands as a sculptural ode to nature, casting ephemeral shadows that shift with the sun’s journey, painting the home in light’s delicate choreography.
- Roanga o te Kaupapa
- The project is located in Sydney Australia. The project commenced in and was completed in October 2024.
- Rerenga Mahi
- Ripple House enhances human experiences by fostering interaction and connectedness. The design actively encourages a sense of community and engagement, creating spaces that invite people to gather, converse, and connect with one another. At the heart of the home, a central void seamlessly connects the two levels, acting as a visual connector that enhances openness and fluidity while encouraging interaction between the levels. The kitchen is designed as both a culinary and social hub. The expansive chef’s island functions as a workspace and dining area, inviting family and guests to gather around food, creating an interactive cooking experience that fosters togetherness.
