Remuera Tropical Luxe

The setting for this house is at the end of a lane in Remuera.  An original design by an established and respected modernist presented a series of well proportioned volumes and an opportunity to update functional layouts and enhance with a richer textural palette of finishes and materials to existing spaces and forms. A tropical resort style is enriched by a carefully chosen palette of materials and details- dark stained timber, limestone flooring, copper clad columns and doors, slatted screens, rattan wrapped posts. 
Architectural drama is created by inserting a few exquisitely detailed elements into the emsemble. A remodeled spiral staircase and a see through wine cellar acting as a space divider increase the wow factor on entering through a tall copper clad front door - all making for value - add design ..... an important factor for this discerning client - both prominent accountants.

Architecture infused with top industry experience - efficient home design - liveable spaces

Ron Seeto Architect, formerly MCP Auckland, specialises in creating liveable spaces which, "make your neighbours jealous" and are efficient in their use of space in the home design.

We have a particular interest and experience in efficient home design and pre-Crafted manufactured off-site building solutions where appropriate. For all our projects we are committed to the design and delivery of interior and exterior spaces that meet client requirements driven by these fundamentals -- efficient, purpose, aesthetics, budget, site, culture, social and environmental.

Born in Fiji and graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture with Honours from Auckland University, I have worked in New Zealand and the South Pacific – starting with Claude Megson and latterly Murray Cockburn.

I believe the dream project holds these elements -- innovation and practicality. Listening and collaboration. Enthusiasm and commitment. Trust and clarity between architect, client and consultants. Efficient home design making liveable spaces.

As every project is personal and unique, I do not work to a defined style or formula. Context and Contrast are important, not to mimic but be part of a place in a liveable community and the efficient use of space in home design is a goal.

We have designed a wide range of projects including residential - home design, commercial, and institutional, and have amassed special expertise in the residential, liturgical and the hotel/resort sectors.

I am proud to say that we have always been a referral business. Over 50% of our clients have been referred by existing clients.

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.
