ALL DAY PARKING
Unless you were a local, you’d never know that behind the street façade of this home, is a leafy-and-lovely view of Grey Lynn park. Admittedly it looks a little different to its colonial-era neighbours.
The site is long and skinny (think 40 metres x 11.7 metres wide), but also steep. That might seem tricky for building however Box™ design lead Tim Hogarth was excited. It presented him with the opportunity to play out an entry sequence, one where the house slowly reveals itself upon pushing open the front door.
The owner was passionate about the process of building, so came armed with a design vision and good energy. He had bought the property some 15 years ago as an investment and was finally in a position to remove the existing cottage (which was dilapidated and beyond re-use), making way for a place that felt more personalised to him.

This was the seed of Box™. A strong belief that the best way to produce the best homes was through builders, designers and customers working in unison, not against one another.
Success comes through an understanding, appreciation and trust of each other’s expertise. This results in great design – part of which is building pragmatism. This combination of design and build practicality also leads to a unique company culture.
We have designed the way we work on the premise that all projects tend to go really well until the cost gets in the way.
As a result, we take our customers through what we believe to be an industry-leading process: the successful dance of design flair, construction knowledge and budget guidance.
