Welcome to Narrowneck, a stunning residence located on Auckland's North Shore. This project was a complete renovation, transforming the dwelling into a modern masterpiece. With a new second storey master suite that leans towards the breathtaking views of Rangitoto Island, this home is a true sanctuary.

The use of aluminium cladding created a visual separation between the original structure and the new additions, making a bold statement in the streetscape. The design of Narrowneck focused on privacy and a sheltered courtyard, ensuring the owners could fully enjoy the beautiful volcanic views. The challenges of the site were overcome through the clever use of split levels, each with its own unique relationship to the surrounding environment.

Inside this remarkable residence, you'll find bespoke displays and cabinets that perfectly showcase the owners' stunning collection of art and objects. And if that's not enough, a window seat cantilevering from the sunny North face of the building offers the perfect spot to enjoy front row seats to the harbour. It's a space designed for both comfort and style.

Eric Abba, BAS, MArch Prof. - Architectural Designer
"Each new residential project begins with a careful investigation of the site, observing and documenting what makes the site unique. This allows the design to respond to its environment in a way that is sympathetic and at the same time embodies the values of its users.

I believe that attention to detail and the ability to create a space that embraces and enhances its context is what defines great architecture. "
