RESIDENTIAL · REMUERA, AUCKLAND

Remuera house

A dark split-face stone anchors this three level home, leading through the entryway to the light filled living areas to expansive Auckland city and harbour views.

Set on an elevated site, the architecture is carefully arranged to capture both morning sunlight from the east and sweeping western views, while offering sheltered outdoor living areas throughout the day.

West facing glazing is paired with adjustable louvres to filter sunlight, maintain privacy from neighbouring properties and frame views of the skyline and surrounding waterways.
