[ ALTERATION / ADDITION ]
A contemporary addition to the rear of a 50's family home in suburban Auckland.
The main angular roof of the addition visually 'peels' away from the other forms in a deconstructive sense, while wall and ceiling plains are generated in response to maximising direct and indirect sunlight deep into the new internal living spaces.
Design & documentation: 14 months
Construction: 8 months
Floor area: 56 sqm
“When looking for an architect for work on our house we found that Mark Frazerhurst had previously designed two separate renovations in our street. We liked the end result in both homes, and the owners gave very good references for Mark, in particular saying that he was very easy to deal with. Once underway Mark asked us for a brief. We left nothing out and were pleasantly surprised when Mark managed to meet all our needs in the first concept. When we chose to make some major changes to the project due to cost, Mark took this in his stride and delivered a second wonderful design. The build process was easy with Mark alongside to manage the technical details that crop up when working on an older house. Our builder complemented Mark on the quality of his drawings which made some of the more technical details easy to understand.”
