Located in Beach Haven, North Shore, the brief for this project involved alterations to an existing 1970’s brick and concrete tile home house on a steep sloping site. With a tight client budget and a uniquely steep site, the constraints were approached as design challenges, demanding innovative solutions. The proposed design extrudes and fragments the existing rectangular forms with a stark contrast between the existing and new. An emphasis on verticality is achieved through high-vaulted ceilings and angular geometric shapes and lines. The new wing is purposeful in positioning and designing to take advantage of the breath-taking views of Waitemata Harbour to the south, featuring a strong feeling of airiness and movement.

“Without any hesitation we can say that the best thing about our new home project was choosing Creative Arch as our design team. They came up with a design that was aesthetically pleasing, functional and suited to a challenging coastal site. They completely understood and worked closely with our brief. The panoramic windows and outdoor living space enhanced the views, complimented by a pleasingly casual and open interior. We had an excellent working relationship with Creative Arch right to the end. Communication was open and we had complete trust in our architect. The way in which our building plans and documentation passed through Council without any hitches is testament to the architect’s skill. We have received many compliments for our house from both friends and total strangers. We would not hesitate to recommend Creative Arch to anyone looking for innovative and competent architectural services.”
