Belle-Mer Place is a single-storey coastal residence overlooking Okoromai Bay, Auckland. Construkt Architects provided the architectural design and prepared the Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) to support the resource consent application.

Set centrally on a rear site, the home balances coastal views with privacy and access to sunlight. The main living spaces open towards the south-east, connecting with an outdoor terrace overlooking the bay. A second terrace to the north-west offers a sunny, sheltered alternative, giving residents a choice of outdoor spaces throughout the day.

Fencing, a pergola and integrated landscaping provide privacy around the north-western terrace. Along the adjoining Okoromai Bay recreation reserve, lower planting maintains views and allows the home to overlook the public space.

The interior accommodates three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a powder room, with a triple garage and generous vehicle manoeuvring space beside the main entrance. A low retaining wall along the north-western boundary helps establish the building platform and adjoining outdoor areas.

Polished render over blockwork, dark and natural cedar, and dark aluminium composite panels create a varied material palette beneath a standing seam roof. These finishes give the home a coastal character that complements its setting.
