Bach to the future
Who lives here?
Debbra Sweetman, interior designer, Mitchell Sweetman, civil engineering project manager, and sons Archer, seven, Bodin, five, and Vann, three.
Where is it?
Papamoa Beach, Tauranga.
When did you buy this house and why?
“We bought it three years ago when we moved here with Mitchell’s job,” Debbra says. “We’d built our previous home on a lifestyle block at Waipipi in South Auckland 18 months earlier, and we were hoping to do something similar in Tauranga but we couldn’t find suitable land. So we decided to move to the beach but, again, there was very little available.”
