Located within the heart of Remuera, the Grand Drive development introduces 8 stunning standalone homes built on two combined sections totalling 1500m2

The homes are designed to accommodate the ever-changing needs of a modern kiwi family. They feature an open plan living/dining/kitchen arrangement linked directly to spacious north facing outdoor courtyards through large floor to ceiling glazing that stack away to create a seamless indoor outdoor flow which extends each space. The kitchen and island dimensions are exceptionally large in comparison to standard developments of this size to accommodate guests and entertaining. Full length storage comes built in along the back wall of the garage and under the stairs to futureproof the practicality of these homes.

Upstairs, a full sized Master Bedroom equipped with a large walk in wardrobe and private ensuite ensures there are no compromises for the owner’s living quarters. Two additional bedrooms share a common bath whilst a smaller flexi-room can be utilized as either a single bedroom, home office or reading room.

The architectural design is sculpted by layering a palette of neutral textures with articulated proportions to create a minimal yet elegant aesthetic. The double height artisanal brick is a custom order with unique elongated proportions sourced from Canterbury, it will feature a white mortar wash over to add texture and layering to the surface. The clean, dark colors of the panelling and cedar help offset the brick to bring about a very comforting and contemporary finish.
