Harsant Avenue - Hahei
By Architektur
This site is long and slender, with the primary view to the sea towards the eastern (skinny end) of the site. Maximising the view was a priority for these clients. So was quite a large space requirement of 315 m2 floor area or so. Other determinants of the site were, that large areas of site needed to be taken up by wastewater distribution fields and a large stormwater soakpit.
The orientation of this long, skinny site lent itself to a floor plan that was spread out along the site, in a long ‘U’ shape to encapsulate a more sheltered courtyard area adjacent to the ground floor hall and rumpus room. With 2 storeys only at the beach end of the house to maximise views.
Living areas and a massive deck at first floor level with a large louvred roof, will allow for multiple uses of the living/deck space relationship, ie outdoor dining or just lounging around on outdoor furniture taking in the view, in or out of the sun, rain or shine.
The master bedroom downstairs and primary guest bedroom adjacent will also get some nice sea views. With the majority of the other bedrooms down at the other ‘kids’ end of the house adjacent to the Rumpus room and courtyard.

About the

Architektur is an Architecture firm based in Auckland, creating beautiful homes for smart and modern family living.
Attention to detail from design to building completion.
By getting the design just right Architektur Homes are creating beautiful homes for smart and modern family living.
After 15 years gaining experience with some of the best architects in New Zealand, I formed the company Architektur Ltd. The name was inspired by the period of time that I worked with architects in northern Switzerland.
From 2003 to 2013 I delivered projects for a variety of clients and budgets. I also completed a Masters Degree in Urban Design. During this time I renovated several homes, including major internal and external alterations, as well as subdividing and building new homes on new sites. Needing a further challenge between 2013 and 2018, I decided to enter the development market. Buying sites that were zoned for higher density. I project managed the development process from start to finish including employing the builder and sub-contractors directly, subdivision, consents,marketing and sales.
The experience has given me a deep insight into the entire development process, and allowed my business to grow whilst still keeping my hand in ‘pure’ architectural home design work through Architektur Ltd. One of my latest high density projects was a block of 14 studio units.
I have many contacts in the building world from engineers to town planners that I can highly recommend to my clients. Working from home means I have low overheads. Not only does this low overhead equate to lower architectural fees for you, it also means that you have one point of contact, and nothing gets lost in translation. I have a wealth of experience in all aspects of the Architecture, Construction & Development process and can be involved as much or as little as you need, based on your circumstances.
I look forward to hearing about your dreams, be it a new home, a bach or perhaps a renovation or alteration. Being a small NZ owned business means I value the personal touch and am happy to take on smaller jobs, perhaps overlooked or over-charged by larger firms.
