By Karl Majurey Architect
The Brief was to make alterations & additions to this existing home as follows – Change colour scheme, new double garage & laundry, bathroom, redesign dining, living & family area. Redesign master bedroom ensuite & wardrobe areas. Provide new pleasant out door living spaces.
This was a difficult alteration & addition to the existing home. The home had been altered at least three times before. We brought back the polished timber floors & rimu windows to enhance the properties aesthetic feel. Each room was themed material & colour wise to create a spectacular result. The client had great taste in furniture also “A very satisfying project with great clients to work for”
Being the self proclaimed – 'The architect on Waiheke', Karl is focussing on marketing with real estate agents all the empty sections on Waiheke & to this end has produced a planning report & aerial & contour plan on all sections to assist purchasers in the process. (250 sections are available) Perhaps 'The section architect on Waiheke' would be more appropriate. Karl really gets a kick out of helping people create their vision whether it be on a small or grand scale.” I’m just as happy designing a house alteration as I am working on the larger projects as my portfolio demonstrates. I offer a free one-hour consultation to any client who needs an opinion on an architectural project that they have in mind.
It has allowed me to meet & work with some extraordinary clients & colleagues, some of whom end up being long-term friends. I have been lucky enough to have, worked throughout New Zealand, in the Pacific Islands (Rarotonga & Fiji), Europe (Spain) & Asia (China) while being based in this beautiful country New Zealand. Naturally over time a Pacific flare to my work has developed, heavily influenced by the places, cultures & people I have experienced. I have managed to combine the above with innovative technologies & the need for sustainable architecture to create some exceptional forms of architecture.
