This project involved the conversion of an existing woolshed and shearers quarters to become luxury lodge accommodation and facilities for guests of a residential estate. The facilities form the communal focus of our masterplan for the whole development which included 17 residential properties, caretakers’ accommodation, implement shed, boat shed and jetty.
We also prepared design guidelines for the development of each of the house sites, recognising unique qualities for different site types such as Bay, Hillside and Ridge.
Bossley Architects have designed two houses for beach sites in the estate.
Bossley Architects is a multidisciplinary Architecture and Interior Design practice based in Tamaki Makaurau Auckland, creating architecture to lift the spirit. The practice is based on the belief that innovative yet practical design is essential for the production of good buildings and spaces, and that the best buildings spring from an open and enthusiastic collaboration between architect, client and consultants.
We have designed a wide range of projects including commercial, institutional and residential, and have amassed special expertise in the field of art galleries and museums, residential and the restaurant/entertainment sector.
Whilst being very much design focused, the practice has an overriding interest in the pragmatics and feasibility of construction. There is considerable hands-on building experience amongst the personnel, and buildings are carefully detailed with construction methods in mind.
