This personal project on a steep site in Auckland's Eastern Bays, is a new home for my parents. A true labour of love, the home has been under construction for a number of years. Because good things take time. The house takes its form from an element constituting both roof and wall planes, which folds its way down the slope, linking each level of the home. The folding form contains and encloses spaces both internally and externally. Handcrafted in every way, this home explores what’s possible on a limited budget, and a challenging site, but armed with passion, patience, and a lot of hard work.

“From the beginning Mark was excited and enthusiastic about our project. He worked professionally and collaboratively with us through the architectural design process, closely listening to our brief and taking the time to get to know us. Mark’s innovative solutions enabled us to maximise the site’s potential. His choice of materials, attention to detail and the crafted nature of his design make it an aesthetically interesting house. He designed a home with dynamic and fun spaces that will meet the needs of our family for years to come.”
