Located in Beach Haven, North Shore, the brief for this project involved alterations to an existing 1970’s brick and concrete tile home house on a steep sloping site. With a tight client budget and a uniquely steep site, the constraints were approached as design challenges, demanding innovative solutions.

The proposed design extrudes and fragments the existing rectangular forms with a stark contrast between the existing and new. An emphasis on verticality is achieved through high-vaulted ceilings and angular geometric shapes and lines. The new wing is purposeful in positioning and designing to take advantage of the breath-taking views of Waitemata Harbour to the south, featuring a strong feeling of airiness and movement.

The range of work at Creative Arch is as diverse as our clients, encompassing residential homes, alterations and renovations, coastal developments, sub-division developments, to commercial projects.

The team at Creative Arch are an enthusiastic group of talented professional architects and designers, with a depth of experience, from a range of different backgrounds and cultures. Creative Arch is a client-focused firm committed to providing excellence in service, culture, and project outcomes.

Client service is our first priority. Our guiding principle is to always listen and understand our client's needs and requirements. We view each client's architectural project as unique and deserving of an innovative plan and tailored design approach.
Any design project is a complicated creative undertaking with a multitude of tasks and issues to be resolved.

We work alongside clients through the complete process from initial briefing to developing the design, through to the consenting process, and to construction and final completion.
