West End Road Bungalow / Dorrington Atcheson Architects
The original bungalow, though dated and backwards in its planning, had a great deal of potential to create a substantial family home.
Auckland houses
Upland Road House / Daniel Marshall Architects
DMA were approached by the clients after seeing another of our houses. Their site was a 600m2 recently subdivided site, with a rather unusual road frontage in that it was tucked below Upland Road and serviced by a feeder alley way.
Lean on Me House / Strachan Group Architects
Continuing the tradition of refurbishment of Auckland’s heritage housing stock, this project is a re-interpretation of the ‘lean-to’ form.
Walled Courtyard House Organised Around a Central Pool
An urban walled courtyard house occupying a tough public site, this home was designed for my own family. Brick construction references a material used in many of the original houses in the neighbourhood and provides a memory of the previous house on the site.
Industrial-Style House in Auckland Exhibiting a Clean and Elegant Design
This industrial-style house, designed with Andrew Kissell, is located in the inner city on the fringes of the central business district in Auckland. The challenge was to create a space that could be used as a home, a sanctuary in the middle of the city on a limited budget.
Salisbury House / Julian Guthrie Architecture
Our clients purchased Salisbury House on a large west facing section as a gutted shell with a new concrete slab poured for a garage addition to the street frontage, and a slab at the rear of the villa for additional living spaces.
Contemporary Extension and Addition to a Beach House in Westmere, Auckland
The brief for this addition was for concrete, timber inside and out and timber slats – with a contemporary aesthetic. The new contemporary extension is made up of two stacked rectangular boxes offset so that the upper cantilevers in two directions over the lower, which forms a bridge back to the existing house.
Massive Concrete Home on a Cliff Above Hobson Bay
The requirement was for a large new family concrete home maximising connection to the exterior spaces and views over Auckland harbour. To create connection to the terraces, pool and gardens, the living areas were all placed one level below street entry level.
