Kaipara Bridges House is a contemporary property designed in 2009 by architect Simon Twose in South Head, New Zealand. The lake house is composed as a simple horizontal form part dug in and part spanning over the dunescape. The building is ‘wrapped’ in a timber skin which forms the cladding and soffits, and also continues inside as flooring and sarking. A single species of timber is used to form this timber skin which has a texture of horizontal joints to reinforce the level aspect of the house – in response to the lake. The timber has been left to weather naturally; the ordered nature of the composition softened by the irregularity of the elements.
