Guthrie’s clients approached him to build a remote coastal home for them to escape to from Wellington. However, building in complete seclusion and in a restricted area proved to be complicated. Having specialized contractors come out to the site was also difficult, and so relatively simple materials and construction techniques were used. “The use of email and texts during the construction was how we communicated, as the remoteness limited our ability to sometimes directly observe the progress,” Guthrie says.
