Welcome to Narrowneck, a stunning residence located on Auckland's North Shore. This project was a complete renovation, transforming the dwelling into a modern masterpiece. With a new second storey master suite that leans towards the breathtaking views of Rangitoto Island, this home is a true sanctuary.

The use of aluminium cladding created a visual separation between the original structure and the new additions, making a bold statement in the streetscape. The design of Narrowneck focused on privacy and a sheltered courtyard, ensuring the owners could fully enjoy the beautiful volcanic views. The challenges of the site were overcome through the clever use of split levels, each with its own unique relationship to the surrounding environment.

Inside this remarkable residence, you'll find bespoke displays and cabinets that perfectly showcase the owners' stunning collection of art and objects. And if that's not enough, a window seat cantilevering from the sunny North face of the building offers the perfect spot to enjoy front row seats to the harbour. It's a space designed for both comfort and style.

About the
Professional

 EA Designer is a small collaborative architectural and interior design practice based in Auckland. The studio’s approach is focused around client, designer and contractors working together to create bespoke, contextual design with a strong focus on sustainability and practicality.

With experience spanning from heritage buildings to modern residences, we have worked on a wide range of residential and light commercial architecture and interiors, collaborating with many talented architects to realise creative and innovative designs.

Working closely with select builders, a critical knowledge and experience dealing with practicality of construction means that each design is conceived and developed with execution in mind.

Eric Abba, BAS, MArch Prof. - Architectural Designer
"Each new residential project begins with a careful investigation of the site, observing and documenting what makes the site unique. This allows the design to respond to its environment in a way that is sympathetic and at the same time embodies the values of its users.

I believe that attention to detail and the ability to create a space that embraces and enhances its context is what defines great architecture. "

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.
