Out of the lounge through french doors, a new roof deck, pool and art studio grows out of Remuera garden.
Light textured tiles complement the existing brick home, reduces blistering feet, and provides grip in the rain.
A slot glass floor punches a glimpse of the madness, into the art created below, and allows for soft filtered light for the Artist.
Solid glass balustrades provide shelter from wind and transparency for views - a beautiful sunset view of Ōhinerau mountain, and Tāmaki Makaurau CBD.
A prefabricated heated pool, for swimming all year round.
I cycle between relaxing in the pool, fish & chips on the deck, and creating art in the studio. What a way to ‘retire’.
W3 has been commissioned to work closely with the client on this project from concept to reality. A true collaboration between Client, Architect, Consultants, and Contractor. What seems to be a very simple addition, has been very thoroughly thought out, resolved, and detailed, specifically for the client's family needs.
Sustainability here is in reusing as much as possible on site, solid durable materials, and intergenerational family time.

About the
Professional
W3 is an Architecture & Art practice with over a decade of experience based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa NZ. We focus on bespoke design for residential & community, buildings & interiors and design to range of budgets, using innovative processes and technologies. W3 explore and communicate concepts and systems, and collaborate with partners to design a more socially and environmentally sustainable future.
Our designs are inspired by artistic concepts, grounded in sophisticated design principles, and finely crafted details, which result in interesting, beautiful and enduring architecture. We highly value our natural environment and always aim to reduce our impact on it, in the process our buildings are built, inhabited and maintained.
Our clients range from families wishing to improve or build their homes with varying budgets and requirements, to larger organisations and developers managing multiple buildings and spaces. We enjoy working with clients and developers who design, build, inhabit, and maintain their buildings, and have found the most successful projects have been when all parties have a long term investment in buildings.
