Panorama House, Bucklands Beach, brings the full drama of Auckland's Hauraki Gulf indoors — Rangitoto framed like a painting from every room. Designed by T Plus Architects and completed by Urry + Burgess Construction, this five-bedroom coastal home was conceived around its view. The entrance side-steps the façade entirely, freeing the main living area to span the full width of the site. A double-height entry clad in warm timber panelling glows like a lantern at dusk. Throughout, Forté Moda Isola flooring grounds the interior — its natural texture and depth a quiet counterpoint to one of New Zealand's most extraordinary residential outlooks.
