The renovation of this 90’s masonry structure transformed this family home.
The jungle-like arrival sets the scene for interiors which unfolds as a mix of natural stone, linen + leather textures, concrete floors, living brass finishes + soft black furnishings.
Firmly grounded in nature, the landscaping was designed to consume the house into a dense nature-scape. Windows were further added as portals into the natural surroundings in surprising ways.
Expansive views of the Auckland harbour from the top level evoke a sense of calm.

Wellness Architecture
Our relationship with space is intimate. From the air we share, to the sounds we hear – we’re more connected than we realise, given we spend 21 hours per day inside - almost 90% of our time.
It affects us more than we realise. The impacts of how we spend our time are showing up in our mental, physical and emotional health. It’s not just about keeping a healthy diet or exercise regime, it’s the big stuff that’s really impacting us; it’s where we spend our time.
Our disconnect from the natural world means that we’re also increasingly distracted from protecting our most precious resources, our environment that sustains us.
There’s a reason that the Wellness Architecture trend is on a steep trajectory, the impacts continue to be measured and it provides a framework to design + build better.
Through substantiated research, exciting new materials, innovative technology and rigorous building standards, Wellness Architecture is here. Not only that, it’s been coined as one of the most meaningful future wellness trends of 2019.
