Positioned above the St Clair coastline in Dunedin, Beach Haven is an exceptional architectural residence that brings together contemporary design, refined material selection, and an uninterrupted connection to its coastal surroundings. Designed by Gary Todd and built by Moda Homes, the approximately 381m² residence features clean horizontal lines, expansive glazing, and a carefully considered material palette that balances bold architectural forms with natural warmth.
ALPOLIC™ aluminium composite panels, supplied by The Building Agency, contribute to the home's contemporary exterior, complementing its strong geometric forms and refined architectural detailing.
The Challenge
Located in an exposed coastal environment, the residence required exterior materials that would complement its distinctive architectural design while responding to the demands of its seaside location. The design emphasised clean lines, precise junctions, and a restrained aesthetic, requiring a façade material capable of achieving a consistent, high-quality finish across the building's contemporary forms.
With expansive glazing, projecting horizontal elements, and carefully resolved architectural details, material selection was central to achieving the intended visual outcome.
The Solution
ALPOLIC™ aluminium composite panels were incorporated into the exterior design, providing a sleek, contemporary finish that reinforces the home's strong architectural lines. The lightweight, dimensionally stable panels offer design flexibility, allowing for crisp detailing and a refined appearance that complements the building's distinctive geometry.
The system's durable finish and low-maintenance characteristics make it well suited to residential applications where long-term appearance and performance are important considerations.
The result is a striking coastal residence where architectural precision and thoughtful material selection work together. ALPOLIC™ contributes to the home's understated yet confident exterior, supporting a design that celebrates its coastal setting while delivering a sophisticated contemporary aesthetic.
