Cockle Bay House

Nestled within the sheltered, north-facing Sylvan Valley overlooking the Tamaki River, the residence draws inspiration from the nostalgic suburban forms of the 1970s, whilst embodying contemporary craftsmanship and sophistication.
Completed in 2017, Cockle Bay House exemplifies contemporary luxury living through its expansive spatial design and sophisticated architectural articulation. Large rooms with lofty ceilings optimise the volumetric potential of the interior space, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and openness. The residence seamlessly integrates formal and informal entertaining areas, distinguished by both family and full butler kitchens, thereby accommodating a variety of social and private occasions with ease. The generous indoor-outdoor flow enhances the sense of connectivity with the surrounding environment, fostering an effortless transition between interior comfort and exterior leisure.
The property is thoughtfully equipped with amenities that cater to both relaxation and activity, including an indoor pool, sauna, and gym pavilion – all designed to support active recreation within a stylish setting. A self-contained, full live-in staff apartment ensures operational convenience and privacy. The material palette elevates the architectural language, featuring an elegant use of mellow brickwork and veneer panels complemented by timber accents and cascading metal cladding and roofing, culminating in a residence that harmonises timeless craftsmanship with modern sophistication. As a distinguished example of luxury homes, Cockle Bay House creates an exceptional sanctuary that embodies refined elegance and functional excellence.
