Blueskin Bay Retreat

10 May

Blueskin Bay Retreat

Waitati, Coastal Otago

Situated on the Otago Coast just north of Dunedin at Doctors Point, the Retreat overlooks the tidal inlet of Blueskin Bay from an elevated bush clad site.

“Taking a cue from the remnants of a previous holiday house, this encampment of three delightfully articulated pavilions has been deftly inserted on the bush-edge contours of sheltered grassed area.

The orientation and façade modulation draw in the best vistas of nearby coastal inlets and a century-old Kanuka grove, while also providing excellent natural light and shade, while the architecture is expressed confidently and consistently through beautifully detailed timber.”
