[ NEW HOUSE ]
A new family home on a small suburban site in Auckland.
Infill housing on smaller and subdivided sections is becoming more and more commonplace as our city densifies. Whether you like it or not, we’re in a period of intensification, and it’s likely at some point everyone will be impacted by this new building typology - whether it’s your immediate neighbour building along your common boundary, or a developer creating a series of terraced units in place of a single dwelling - we’re all affected in some way.
We’re very proud of the approach we take to these smaller infill, and residential densification projects, which occupy pieces of land within the urban landscape that are secondary to primary development. Every challenging or ‘left-over’ site is an opportunity to create something special. That challenge begins by not detracting from the existing urban fabric, and not occupying land for the sake of maximising floor area. Bigger isn’t necessarily better, and someone’s advantage doesn’t need to be at the disadvantage of others.
This small home in suburban Auckland is bigger than the sum of its parts; respects it’s environment; and will provide a contemporary and considered crafted family home for years to come.
