Stunning views of Auckland Harbour Bridge!
This house was a wonderful solution to a sloping site with tight boundaries but a wonderful view back over Auckland Harbour Bridge. The house replaced the original 1990’s leaky home. Having lived in the old house for a while, the owners understood that the new house needed to be re-oriented to make the most of the sun, hence the large covered and uncovered deck areas.
The house delivers for a growing family and is a great example of what can be done on a constrained urban site where the view and the sun are in conflicting directions. The house also contains many Box™ accents – open ply stairs, plywood cabinetry, built-in furniture not to mention full-height glazing and doors for that perfect flow.

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.
