By Four Walls Architecture
In the heart of Auckland’s Viaduct Basin, this tired one-bedroom apartment was given a new lease of life. The planning was re-configured to be open and free-flowing and better connected to the harbour views and lively urban location.
Cabinetry was carefully designed to maximise internal space and to be a backdrop to the clients’ art and furniture, while adding much needed storage. A timber panelled core encloses and hides service and ancillary spaces, including a spacious bathroom. The apartment has a calmness that takes you away from the city’s hustle and bustle while enjoying sea and city views.
Four Walls Architecture is a boutique, award-winning NZIA practice that prides itself on concise, clear, calm and beautifully crafted architecture both inside and out. We believe in architecture that stands the test of time, through its function, purpose, materiality and quality of design. Our clients are our priority; without you, we cannot create, so we leave aside ego and put you, your budget and your project vision at the centre of all our work.
We have worked throughout New Zealand, in its unique coastal, rural and urban environments, so we know how every site brings its own design opportunities and constraints, and how to make the best of both. We have an exceptional team who are equally committed to your project; you are in safe hands at every project stage as we help you bring your project to fruition, from the first meeting to completion.
