North Auckland House

North of Auckland, on a sprawling rural block of land surrounded by rolling hills and native bush, sits this luxurious family home.

The home is conceived as a number of buildings invisibly linked together and encompassing a sheltered arrival courtyard.

Spacious and thoughtfully planned, the home offers a diversity of living spaces suited to both intimate moments and grand gatherings. From expansive outdoor dining terraces to cosy indoor lounges and entertainment rooms, the layout provides a sense of luxury through generous spatial variety.

Anchored on the property in in-situ ‘off the form’ concrete the home features many large pitched roofs each identifying a building both indoors and outdoors.

Featuring concrete, terrazzo, stone, steel, concrete and timbers, the home has a contemporary textural palette, that is as functional as it is beautiful. Elegant details like sweeping spiral staircases, generous sky lights and touches of symmetry throughout make for a unique and tranquil retreat from the city.
