Wingate+Farquhar transformed this Orakei site into an architecturally designed family home. The mixture of aluminium joinery, cedar cladding and honed pumice concrete block draw together different finishes that create a unique exterior, while the interior is complimented by the open plan flow, a mezzanine and stunning views to Rangitoto.
