High-End Coastal Living, Grounded in Natural Warmth
Nestled among lush greenery with sweeping views of the ocean, this Waiheke Island residence captures the essence of refined coastal living. Interiors designed by Sojo Design and built by Tightlines Developments, the home combines architectural precision with a deep connection to its natural surroundings. The project reflects a harmonious balance between contemporary luxury and relaxed coastal living.
At the heart of the interior lies Manhattan from Vienna Woods’ Distilled Collection. A premium European oak flooring that delivers timeless elegance with a hint of urban sophistication.
Where the Outside Flows In
Framed by floor-to-ceiling glass and surrounded by native greenery, the home blurs the line between indoors and out. The gentle texture and natural grain of the Manhattan flooring echo the organic palette of Waiheke Island, creating harmony between architecture and landscape.
Soft, sunlit interiors transition effortlessly to outdoor spaces, grounding the design in nature. The flooring brings warmth to the modern form, inviting a sense of calm and connection throughout the home.
The Perfect Foundation
Chosen for its ability to balance urban refinement with natural charm, Manhattan provides a strong foundation that enhances both the design and the way the space feels to live in. Its warm tone and versatile grain pattern ground the open-plan living areas in a sense of calm and cohesion, while its lacquered surface ensures durability and easy maintenance for high-traffic zones. This makes Manhattan a natural fit for the Waiheke project, where understated luxury meets everyday functionality.
