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.
Frazerhurst Architects is an Auckland based creative studio, primarily focussed on architecture and interiors, while extending project typologies through to hardscapes, furniture, objects and other crafted works.
We’re here to work with you, and assist, advise, and guide you on your journey, to realise your dreams and enjoy the process along the way.
We approach each and every project as a privileged opportunity to change lives for the better. We love getting engrossed and absorbed in design challenges, and enjoy the process of collaborating with all parties involved, to carry a strong initial concept and common goal through an enjoyable and memorable process, to realisation.
Each building, interior, hardscape, or object presents its own challenges, and necessitates a specific and carefully considered individualised response, to produce a high quality outcome specifically, and beautifully, designed for context and purpose, regardless of scale or typology.
Our practice was established in 2006, as a multidimensional design studio, and our values are underwritten by the intention to deliver works of a refined and crafted nature. We’ve won a number of awards over the years for what we do, and our small team strives to exceed client expectations by challenging common responses and standard practices through the innovative manipulation of materials, techniques, light, and space.
We love what we do, and we’d love to show you, so please get in touch.
