“A stunning house in a prime position in St. Heliers Bay.”
Designed for a prominent Barrister and his family. We were briefed to maximise the height and envelope to take advantage of the harbour views and St Heliers reserve below. The site was steep and narrow producing access challenges. The end result is a pleasing cascade of living levels from the roof top deck down to the swimming pool on the lower ground. We also designed 3 townhouses on the lower part of the site making use of the joint venture with the neighbour and his unutilised lower section.
An Auckland based architectural office focusing on providing leadership in planning, architecture, urban design and interior design. With over 30 years award-winning experience designing residential, church, school and commercial projects.
NZ architects you can trust
We believe in a ‘total design’ architectural philosophy, which means design disciplines permeate every aspect of the business, including the way we operate. This approach ensures building design outputs are based on facts and reality, not assumptions and guesses. Every output is checked against the original brief, however, there’s always flexibility to accommodate new requirements along the way.
Our attention to detail ensures every stage of each project is successful. You can trust us to streamline the journey to project realization by producing accurate and technically complex consent and tendering drawings, efficiently monitoring adherence to plans during construction and ensuring your architectural budget goes the distance.
