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 collection of interconnected buildings, invisibly linked to encompass a sheltered arrival courtyard that welcomes residents and guests alike. Spacious and thoughtfully planned, the house offers a diversity of indoor and outdoor living spaces suited to both intimate moments and grand gatherings. From expansive outdoor dining terraces to cosy indoor lounges and dedicated entertainment rooms, the layout creates a sense of luxury through generous spatial variety.

Anchored on the property, the in-situ off-the-form concrete construction features many large pitched roofs, each identifying a distinct building. The home’s contemporary architectural design employs a rich material palette including concrete, terrazzo, stone, steel, and timber, combining functionality with beauty. Elegant details such as sweeping spiral staircases, generous skylights and touches of symmetry throughout contribute to a unique and tranquil rural retreat away from the city.
