Context Architects masterplanned the subdivision of two existing residential sites into four new lots (approx. 400m² each) with a modern, two storey dwelling on each. This weatherboard home features an elegant gable form wrapped in charcoal coloured metal cladding. Patterned screens positioned in front of key windows provide privacy while also referencing the heritage of its Point Chevalier surrounds.

The modest 198m² footprint accommodates three bedrooms, two bathrooms (as well as a guest WC), two living spaces, kitchen & aptly appointed scullery, dining area, laundry and double garage. Ample storage is provided throughout the house and supplemented by generous attic space.

With views to Auckland city’s striking sky line and a bold street facing silhouette, this home brings the local bungalow vernacular into the 21st century.
