Contemporary Coastal Living Set within the rolling landscape of Mangawhai, the Devich Road home is a refined example of contemporary coastal design. Carefully positioned to capture natural light and surrounding views, the home blends clean architectural lines with warm, natural materials. The combination of bagged brick, timber cladding, and a minimal palette creates a balance between modern form and relaxed coastal living. Designed with both function and lifestyle in mind, the layout offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, making the most of its setting while providing a comfortable, practical space for everyday living. Devich Road reflects Younger Builders’ approach — thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and homes built to suit both the environment and the people who live in them.

We were engaged by the architects at SGA, following our collaboration with them on the Coastal Bliss project. The client had purchased the property shortly before renovations began and wanted to retain the bach-like character of the home while upgrading it to a much higher standard. This included the addition of new double glazing, a new roof, kitchen, and cladding.
