Veranda House
The clients for this extension have a very family orientated lifestyle, and entertain a lot. They prefer to sit, and eat, outside whenever possible, however in Auckland the rain often keeps them stuck inside. With this in mind, they wanted to extend their kitchen and living area with a new room that had the feeling of a veranda.
Lowering the ceiling of the extension, and including clerestory windows at high level to the original space, with bi-fold doors opening away from the corner, created a space that effortlessly bridges the divide between inside and outside.

Design Philosophy
Rain brings new life and possibility. Rain cleanses and refreshes the world and us. As a design-led practice, Rain Studio focuses on delivering solutions that serve the lifetime needs of the end-user occupants of our buildings. The spaces we create are beautiful, liveable, and responsive; we aspire to create an environment of abundance.
The relationships between people and place are at the heart of all of our work at Rain Studio, and we believe in a synergetic approach of mutual respect and responsibility, to design and to humanity’s place within the natural world.
Designing for the future is a fundamental aspect of our work, recognising that the needs of households and businesses change over time. We believe in working with nature to create sustainable built environments.
