Custom-designed three-story residence on Masterton Road, featuring five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two living rooms, expertly crafted to maximize land use while addressing site challenges and ensuring neighbor privacy.

The client wished to have a home unique to their needs and ideals.

  • Year Completed: 2019
  • Location: Masterton Road, Rothesay Bay
  • Professional Service/s: Building Consent

Instead of purchasing an existing property on the market, they came to us with the brief outlining the following: five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living rooms – the client wanted to maximise the use of the land.

There were some significant challenges to realise the design. Steep and narrow land, height in relation to boundary and neighbour privacy. THE DESIGNFIRE has modelled neighbour’s houses, made the shadow diagram, negotiated with Council to achieve the best outcome for the client. It is a three-story house, staggered in floor level to follow the natural slope of the land, with a total 317m² floor area with 30m² deck area. The random standing seam metal cladding with horizontal cedar create the modern look and THE DESIGNFIRE has also designed the interior of the house. We are taking care of the project inside and outside.

The construction was completed in 2019. Now the client has moved in and are enjoying the time in their own designed home.

“I have worked with THE DESIGNFIRE since 2014 with projects ranging from residential developments and high-end holiday homes. THE DESIGNFIRE has indeed become not only my company’s “Chief Designer” but also my “Personal Design Adviser”. THE DESIGNFIRE was engaged for all of our high-end residential developments and all of my holiday homes in Auckland. They were able to help me as a single point of responsibility with initial concept designs, material and colour selections right through to implementation and build, all within a set budget and timescale. I gained two fundamental benefits from employing THE DESIGNFIRE. One is the design itself. They were able to take a few basic and rather uncertain ideas of mine and show how they could be realised to best effect. They put forward the most incredible ideas for floor plans, spatial quality, interior design, and special architectural features. They were particularly amazing at coming up with solutions, and improvising, for the areas I hadn’t considered. Sourcing everything would have taken me weeks, or never at all. I have to say that they have a wonderful & trendy taste of design ideas. They always give you choices and add some interesting things in that you just wouldn’t have thought of, but that works beautifully. Another one is commercial benefits, our clients were all extremely happy with the design solution in our development, and they believe our product is different from those by other developers. I believe THE DESIGNFIRE’s design had some good influence here. Speaking of my own holiday houses, while I’ve only got to enjoy a few days in a year, most of the other times were rented out short term, and the return has been amazing, the stylish houses that THE DESIGNFIRE created generated huge interest and made my houses really popular in the area.”
