Black Box Cedar Home

This contemporary family home has been designed to maximise the connection of an elongated living space to a lush northern garden while retaining a real sense of privacy from surrounding neighbours. To this end the open plan ground floor reads as a glazed conservatory space nestled under a dark cedar container, a suspended black box providing a dynamic retreat for the three main bedrooms. The light filled heart of the home is connected vertically through twin voids highlighting the spacious character of the home. The garage, guest quarters and services are secured in a black color-steel box to the south of the site. "Exposed materials connect the home with its environment and express our true kiwi values, the desire to be outdoors enjoying the rich natural elements, water, stone, sunshine and sky. "The opportunity to work with one of Auckland's leading builders has been a privilege and we are proud to have our name on this conceptually strong and beautifully crafted home."

“The over-arching feeling which comes from Faulkner Construction is that they have the experience and professionalism to handle whatever issues a building program can throw up. Headed by owner Ross Faulkner, the team of Sieng, Alastair, Andrea and all the tradesmen at Faulkner Construction are a formidable team who are craftsman in their field and produce a product to the highest standard, proven by the awards they regularly win at the Master Builders House of the Year Competition. We genuinely enjoyed this building process, which is something you don't often hear about building a new house. Coming to site most days to see the changes and progress being made, we were very involved in the build and quite particular about the details of our house and Faulkner respected this and delivered an amazing result which has exceeded our expectations. It has actually been difficult writing this reference because words don't seem to adequately express our gratitude for the care and professionalism Faulkner Construction took with our project, particularly Sieng, the site foreman. He is completely unflappable and his attention to detail and ability to get on with the job was a large contributor to the success of the project. When we were looking for a builder we contacted a previous client of Faulkner Construction for a reference and their advice was to look no further than Faulkner Construction. Having now completed our own project with them we can totally echo this advice and if we decide to build again they are the only builders we would consider using.”
