Angle Grinder
By Mark Frazerhurst Architects
This personal project on a steep site in Auckland's Eastern Bays, is a new home for my parents. A true labour of love, the home has been under construction for a number of years.
Because good things take time.
The house takes its form from an element constituting both roof and wall planes, which folds its way down the slope, linking each level of the home. The folding form contains and encloses spaces both internally and externally.
Handcrafted in every way, this home explores what’s possible on a limited budget, and a challenging site, but armed with passion, patience, and a lot of hard work.

About the
Professional
First and foremost - we're here to help you.
We see every project as an opportunity to change people’s lives for the better. Whether that be by: creating a home as a haven where the family feels safe, secure, and connected; a small handcrafted detail which generates a smile in a stress filled day; or an interesting spatial configuration which makes life just that little bit more enjoyable.
Each building, interior, hardscape, or object presents its own challenges, and necessitates a specific and carefully considered individualised response, to produce a high quality outcome specifically, and beautifully designed for context and purpose, regardless of typology, scale, or budget.
Our practice was established in 2006, as a multidimensional design studio, and our values are underwritten by the intention to deliver works of a refined and crafted nature. We’ve won a number of awards over the years for what we do, and our small team strives to exceed client expectations by challenging common responses and standard practices through the innovative manipulation of materials, techniques, light, and space.
We love getting engrossed and involved in design challenges, and enjoy the process of collaborating with all parties involved, to carry a strong initial concept and common goal through an enjoyable and memorable process, to realisation.
We do what we love; we love what we do; and we’d love to show you.
We're out to save the world; one home at a time.
