Located in a historic neighborhood in
a street running between Jervois Road
and the waterfront the house design
references the Villa, Bungalow and Deco buildings styles predominate in the area. The form, composition and materiality
of the designis sophisticated and contemporary whilst maintaining a timeless appeal.
The house maximizes the potential of
the very narrow site, maintaining privacy to and from the neighboring properties. The house focuses on the indoor-outdoor relationship on all levels, using void space and terraces to give the site generous spaciousness.
The four bedroom house incorporates living areas on the upper level and a
roof deck to afford vistas of the upper Waitamata Harbor as well as the
Auckland Harbor Bridge.
