Piha Bunker House

NZ Home of the Year 2025 – Bunker House by Chris Tate

A true architectural icon, Bunker House is the 2025 Home of the Year — the result of a visionary 14-year design and build journey. Perched above the dramatic coastline, this sculptural masterpiece blurs the line between art and architecture.

Framed by volcanic sand, lush greenery, and the ever-changing Pacific horizon, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers total seclusion — and yet a striking connection to the surrounding landscape and beach below.

This is a home that evokes awe and quiet reflection. The interiors are refined and minimalist, allowing the bold form and surrounding beauty to speak for themselves.

From the viewing slit, you’ll witness nature and people in motion — but take just one step back, and you're wrapped in total privacy.

An inspiring space for creatives, executives, and lovers of great design.

This property is available to host corporate brands, product launches, PR events and work retreats.

This property is not suitable for 21sts or parties.
