This idyllic site is hidden down a long driveway in Mount Eden, with an existing rough cast bungalow sitting in the middle of the large, lush section.
The brief was to create an outdoor room, pool and garage to suit this young energetic family. We were challenged to design a modern structure that was sympathetic to the existing house, with nods to the wider Mt Eden context.
Materials were carefully selected to reference the volcanic landscape, and existing residential character. A language of curves and copper detailing was used to soften the modern lines and reference the fine details of the bungalow.
This project was stage 1 of an ongoing revitalization of the home.
