[ NEW HOUSE ]
A new home in suburban Meadowbank, Auckland, taking advantage of the elevated gentle promontory on which the house resides.
The form and detailing of the upper level explores the notion of 'shroud' in which to contain and protect, while at the same time directing internal vistas towards the North-West and Cityscape.
The home maximises and utilises internal space, and challenges the notion of bigger is better. We believe in quality over quantity, and the spatial configuration and utilisation within this home questions and eliminates unnecessary area where possible, to deliver a family home apparently bigger than the sum of its parts.
