Mangawhai Hills
A website for a sustainable coastal development and community.
Overview
Mangawhai Hills is a masterplanned coastal development where sustainability and lifestyle come together. Set across 185 hectares of rolling hills, sea views, and native bush, it offers generous sections designed for solar living and a deep connection to the land.
This is a place where people and nature thrive side by side — with walking trails, rewilded wetlands, and thoughtful design guiding every detail. Built for the future, Mangawhai Hills offers a new way of living that’s both restorative and enduring.

Approach
F=Mangawhai Hills needed a new website to showcase and market its premium coastal development. Working with the Brave design team, I helped establish the new design system and, under the guidance of my design lead, created responsive layouts focused on interactivity and user experience. The result was a refreshed, modern look and feel supported by updated imagery and design consistency across the site.
To enhance marketing and usability, the team introduced new iconography and custom map styling. A standout feature of the redesign is the interactive plot map, allowing users to explore individual sections, view detailed diagrams and land information, and easily get in touch through clear calls to action throughout the site.
