By Radley Architectural Design
Introducing the stunning Puna Street project, a modern architectural masterpiece completed in 2019. Located in the urban setting of Orakei, this new build showcases a creative low-maintenance design that perfectly complements the complex steep site it sits upon. The innovative use of high ceilings and large glazing with zero thresholds not only creates a sense of spaciousness but also allows for the beautiful natural light to flood the interiors, enhancing the overall ambience of the home.
One of the standout features of this luxurious property is the elevated swim spa, strategically positioned high above ground level and seamlessly integrated into the lower-level deck. This unique design element offers unobstructed views of the stunning harbour, providing a serene and relaxing environment for residents and guests to enjoy. Collaborating with top professionals such as Architectural Metalformers, Radley Architectural Design has brought to life a truly remarkable project that combines functionality with elegance.
Radley Design is an established family based Architectural design company based in Tauranga, New Zealand. We specialise in renovation and new build projects focusing on design solutions and space optimisation.
Our world is reliant on how we treat our future, so sustainability is a given factor when approaching new projects. We value Smart Eco Design that not only benefits our environment but also considers the lifestyle and approaches our clients desire.
There’s a lot that comes into the design. It’s not just how the house looks at the end of the day. It’s how it fits within the landscape, how it functions with the owners lifestyle and how it utilises space and its environment. All of these factors need to sit within the clients budget which is something we try really hard to achieve.
We value every relationship and work with owners, developers, project managers and all trades and services. This is right from the onset of initial planning stages to ensure an effective and efficient construction and completion of the project.
