Meadowbank Alteration by Houston Architects

ArchiPro Project Summary - Thoughtfully redesigned 1960's home featuring open-plan living, enhanced views of the estuary, and dedicated spaces for family, including a new double garage, private master suite, and children's area with direct access to outdoor living.

Title:: Meadowbank Alteration
Architect:: Houston Architects
Category:: Residential/; Renovations and Extensions

The existing two storey, 1960's house was poorly planned with a kitchen blocking the view to the estuary and outdoor living. The single garage downstairs was tight with poor storage.

We planned to gut the top floor and add on a double garage providing internal access to the top floor creating open plan living with generous sliding doors onto a new deck with a roof shelter to frame the view.

The Master bedroom is adjacent to the living area with it's own private balcony enjoying the view and an en suite accessible through a walk in wardrobe. Opening Velux roof windows were used to provide additional light to the ensuite, corridor and kitchen.

Downstairs became the children's domain with French doors from the bedrooms opening out to the lawn area with two new bathrooms, a laundry and plenty of storage complete the design.

About the Professional

Project Portfolio

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.

An architecture firm built around your wants and needs

Established in 1983, Houston Architects is deliberately small and cohesive team of Auckland architects with extensive building design experience and expertise. We work predominately on residential, commercial, education and church buildings in the Auckland region, however our track record includes projects in Wellington, Tauranga and other areas of New Zealand.

Our number one purpose is to create exceptional client satisfaction. To achieve this we concentrate our attention on just a few projects at a time, maintain close client relationships and ensure every step is driven by your wants and needs.
