Seascape Retreat
Located on the edge of the Pacific about two hours from Christchurch, this Seascape Retreat is laid out to perfectly take advantage of the land on which it sits. Thanks to a living roof, the one-bedroom studio blends in well with the hill behind it, while walls built from locally-sourced rock help ease the transition between its surroundings and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Under the roof you'll also find a bedroom, bathroom, and covered patio with fireplace, while outside there's a water tank on one side and a sunken hot tub on the other.
