Making the most of the site’s boundaries and existing foundation, this three-storey home has been designed to serve its owners into the future.
The black exterior makes a bold statement along the street in Westmere, Auckland.
Borrowing from the form of the original bungalow, the gable has been extended to gain an additional level in the new home.
A green wall has been created using tensioned steel wires, leading to the front door.
The new layout provides uninterrupted indoor-outdoor connection.
The backyard has grass for the children and family dog to enjoy, with a pool to the side.
The pool fencing mimics the home's exterior cladding.
A batten steel balustrade welcomes natural light into the rest of the home.
The top storey of the home makes the most of available space with the hallway tucked into the slant of the gabled roof.
