Tara Iti

2020

Nestled 90 minutes north of Auckland, in the rolling sand dunes near Mangawhai is Tara Iti. Known to the surfers as Black Swamp beach and now widely known as one of the top golf courses in NZ and around the world.

James Russ and team are involved in a stunning architectural build that pushes the boundaries of Art and Light.
