The house acts as both a family home and a show home for local Design Build Company, Byrne Homes. Located in a new subdivision north of Auckland, the house is anchored into the steep narrow slope by a strong concrete bunker, minimising the more than 4.0m of contour across the building footprint. The living spaces cantilever over and stretch across the full width of the site, taking in views of Orewa Beach. From the street, the home has an industrial feel, mixing in-situ concrete and black aluminium. In contrast, the natural timber, large window openings and white surfaces keep the interior warm and light. This bold home stands out from its surroundings and has helped set Byrne Homes apart from its competitors in the local market.

About the
Professional
There is something satisfying about a thing that is well made and well designed. We set out in 2008 looking to raise the standard of design in our local built environment. Since then we have worked in some incredible locations to create buildings that reflect the character of the people who live in them and place in which they live. We design with sensitivity to the physical and cultural context of the site, using natural materials and finishes where possible with a focus on robust and elegant detailing. We have a tight knit team of skilled architectural designers and technicians to handle new residential and commercial projects, alterations and additions of any complexity.
