When I spoke to the current owners of 27 Taranui Place in Mangawhai Heads I felt the fascination for the unparalleled view from their splendid executive house over the ocean. The prominent avant-garde building acts as a permanent watch-tower over the changing faces of the waves. Every time these folks step out of their shower they don't look into a mirror, but they watch the variations of the sea. It is obvious why the basin is being built in front of a large window.
...........................THE OCEAN. Whether it's rough and rainy or it's gentle and the weather is sunny, the expression of the swell against the sand is at all times comforting.
...........................THE HOUSE. Is cool in its polyglot manifestation but warm and inviting in its diligence. It harbours the emotions from the sea and acts soothing to the heart of its people.
