Mariners Cove banner

The brief for this large Marsden Cove home called for a very clean lined mid-century American Modern design. Split over two levels, this 650m2 home is laid out as a Y-junction to orient the various axis of the building to the main views and entry points.

There is a four car garage to house the owner’s prized collectable cars additional to their day to day cars, a gymnasium, beautifully landscaped gardens, a large outdoor entertainment area, and a private jetty to the waterways.

 

Additional features of the property include:

  • Gymnasium.
  • Elevator.
  • Ensuite bathrooms and walk in wardrobes for every bedroom.
  • Under floor slab water heating which has an interchange bladder with the HWC so that heat from the sun can be exchanged with the domestic water supply.
  • The warm roof has a double layer bituminous membrane bonded over 100mm polyiso insulation, solving the problem of condensation that occurs in most other roof types.

About the
Professional

An Auckland based architectural office focusing on providing leadership in planning, architecture, urban design and interior design. With over 30 years award-winning experience designing residential, church, school and commercial projects. 

NZ architects you can trust

We believe in a ‘total design’ architectural philosophy, which means design disciplines permeate every aspect of the business, including the way we operate. This approach ensures building design outputs are based on facts and reality, not assumptions and guesses. Every output is checked against the original brief, however, there’s always flexibility to accommodate new requirements along the way.

Our attention to detail ensures every stage of each project is successful. You can trust us to streamline the journey to project realization by producing accurate and technically complex consent and tendering drawings, efficiently monitoring adherence to plans during construction and ensuring your architectural budget goes the distance.
