Port Royal - Residential Stone Seawall
By Auckland Stonemasons
Inspired by numerous trips to Croatia, Len Lavas - Director and Master Stonemason at Auckland Stonemasons, created this stunning residential stone seawall in Auckland's Herne Bay.
The existing coastal wall was made up of old boulders and broken down timber walls. Len and the team at Auckland Stonemasons worked with the client on the design and construction of the space from start to finish.
Auckland Basalt was used throughout the project to create structurally sound stairs, retaining walls, walkways, bollards, gardens, viewing decks and an outdoor entertaining area complete with a stone fireplace. Taking a previously unusable space to one that provides function for outdoor living with a European Port feel, allowing the homeowner to make the most of the beautiful views of the Waitemata Harbour.
Auckland Stonemasons partnered with Davis Coastal Consultants to ensure the design was engineered to accommodate resource and building consents.
