Remuera Rd by Hamish Cameron Architecture

ArchiPro Project Summary - A serene renovation of a 1970s house, blending Asian architectural influences with modern resort-style living, featuring hipped-roof pavilions, enhanced natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections around a central pool.

Title:: Remuera Rd
Architect:: Hamish Cameron Architecture
Category:: Residential/; Renovations and Extensions

Project Type: Renovation

Hidden in a wooded valley, this 1970s house, influenced by Asian architecture, has been remodelled and extended for 21st century, resort style living.

Sheltering, hipped-roof pavilions feature their original, delicate exposed timber framing and kauri sarking, and are enhanced with new zinc cladding. These form islands within a horizontal roofscape reaching out into the natural setting. Expansion to the original floor plan and the addition of a glazed entry gallery have set up a series of long vistas through the spaces which creates a wonderful sense of connection and calm.

The spaces are characterised by variations in ceiling shape and volume: some are darker and more cave-like, while others are bathed in light and flow under deep overhangs to sheltered outdoor living spaces arranged around the central pool.

Hamish Cameron Architecture. Hamish Cameron Architecture is a multiple award winning practice established in 2017. Hamish has over 35 years’ experience working in architecture completing residential, hospitality, winery, commercial and interior projects. During his 29 years at Archimedia, and its predecessor DEM, Hamish’s projects received awards at both local and national level. HCA has a particular passion for residential design. Working in both new build and renovation, we craft buildings and spaces with quiet atmosphere and soul that reflect the unique character of their owners and bring calm and a sense of well-being to their lives. Our design approach is not style or fashion driven. Design often evolves from the inside out resulting in simple forms defining thoughtful, well-proportioned spaces enhancing everyday human activities and characterised by natural light, warm tactile materials and the subtle use of colour. Sensitive to culture, context and heritage, and respecting our relationship with the natural world, we aim to instil our buildings with timeless character and beauty.
