“There’s nothing to see on the street”
Turning its back on the southern street scape, House No 3 is all about the internal space for the occupants.
A strong cedar wall encompasses the streetscape, stretching wide across the road front, providing nothing to passers-by, other than a back drop to the lone Kauri Tree.
Intentionally the single penetration to the cedar wall is positioned out of view adding to the mystique of what lies beyond – purposely nothing is on show to the street.
Once inside all aspects of the home are concentrated on the northern aspect of the site, providing direct access from all bedrooms and living spaces.
Causing quite a stir in the neighbourhood, pitching itself against the so called “urban planning” of bigger is better mentality, House No 3 clearly sits staunch between its neighbours.

NJA strives for the highest standards of client service, design and documentation. At the completion of each project the aim is to have achieved a building that is beyond the client's expectations. Our commitment to providing superior service to our clients has been recognized with a nomination for a Business Excellence Award by the Waikato Chamber of Commerce.
Each project is analyzed for its special requirements and opportunities: the end result being not a preconceived idea but a combination of the client's requirements and desires, the site and the budget. Critical consideration is given to the project's specific environmental and historical location, and to the appropriate materials and construction methods of the locality.
NJA believes good design will produce sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces and buildings that have an enduring quality over time.
