Chisbury Terrace House
Role: Concept Design through to approved Building Consent

This project features alterations and additions to the existing house to maximize space while maintaining the house building footprint, maximize the waterfront views towards Tamaki Straits and natural daylighting, allow good indoor-outdoor flow, and to create a sustainable and energy-efficient design using solar energy for house power, pool and spa heating. The owner’s objective is to convert the existing 80s home into a contemporary design home for their family.


Due to height restriction upstairs in the loft, the existing roof and loft floor is to be removed for a new roof and upper story. This will allow for more spacious design and additional lounge upstairs with comfortable ceiling height for the occupants. Alterations to the existing ground floor will create a more spacious and open plan living/ kitchen/ dining area. 


A new garden pavilion beside the existing pool shall house the pool bar/ kitchenette for family and guests entertained.
Located on an elevated site, the house enjoys great views towards the waterfront of East Tamaki and the surrounding rolling hills of the countryside from both ground floor level and Level 1 upstairs. With the conversion of the loft into the new upper story, this enhances the quality of living for the family.

About the
Professional

Andesite creates signature projects of architecture and light as a synthesis of design, function and context. We aim for quality and innovation in architecture. We are involved in projects throughout New Zealand, based in Queenstown.
Our vision for architecture is a contemporary and timeless design. We encourage energy-efficient designs that continually push boundaries and innovation in architecture. We engage in environmentally sustainable design and construction in our approach towards architecture – and architecture of quality and distinction.
The practice was established in 2010 and is involved in mostly residential architecture throughout New Zealand. We have a special interest in integrating quality lighting design in architecture, both in terms of maximizing natural daylight design and application of artificial lighting design. We engage in the use and play of light within the architectural space as an expression of the poetics of architecture.
