ELEVATED IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Every journey begins with a single step. For these owners, they described taking their first step about 6 years before undertaking the leap of faith to design-build. After living in an old draughty villa for years, it became a dream to build their own home.

After a few false starts, including looking at the opportunity of moving out of Auckland, they seized the opportunity to purchase a section in the small town of Matakana.

At 135sqm, this split level home is the perfect size for a couple. The lounge provides uninterrupted views, enabled by large bi-fold windows at one end. There is a playful mix of materials, such as the plywood used in the kitchen and the splash of red with the pyroclassic wood burner. This adds warmth and cosiness to a build that the owners have turned into a haven.

This was the seed of Box™. A strong belief that the best way to produce the best homes was through builders, designers and customers working in unison, not against one another.

Success comes through an understanding, appreciation and trust of each other’s expertise. This results in great design – part of which is building pragmatism. This combination of design and build practicality also leads to a unique company culture.

We have designed the way we work on the premise that all projects tend to go really well until the cost gets in the way.

As a result, we take our customers through what we believe to be an industry-leading process: the successful dance of design flair, construction knowledge and budget guidance. 

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
