Mangawhai, New Build banner

The owners of this property wished for a modern family home that takes cue from simple rural farm buildings of yester-year, like a sprawling low slung woodshed that is congruous with the New Zealand rural landscape. Tucked beneath a ridgeline high above the Mangawhai coastline, this site has a commanding view over the valley below, with a bonus stand of mature Totara trees to one side. The structure flows along with the lie of the land, with stepping timber floors draped by a roof plane that follows the landscape. Timber dark accents to the interior create a cozy sense of security, safety and shelter from the elements.

Although based in Kerikeri, significant portions of projects we undertake are in Auckland, with a particular emphasis on additions & alteration projects in older suburbs where heritage architecture prevails.
