iPAD at Porkapa Beach
Coasts Road, New Plymouth, Taranaki
The iPAD™ is a true kitset pad designed to cover a range of options.
It can be grouped as a series of pavilions to form larger accommodation if required.
A single iPAD™ totals 50 square metres with decks of 55 square metres and retails in New Zealand for $125,000 (exc GST). Various external cladding and colour options are available to suit individual taste and context.
This seafront iPAD™ is the holiday home of two Californian surfers who ride the Taranaki waves several times a year when they escape from Sausalito.
It consists of a single module with a guest suite accessed across a partly covered deck area.
The natural timbers are stained to evoke a subtle weathered seaside appearance, and it nestles sensitively on this sometimes harsh coastal environment.
The iPAD™ is the ultimate designer pad – versatile yet affordable.
