Extension to an existing 1960s brick bungalow in West Auckland. Respond Architects client came to us with a brief for an extension to his existing 1960s’ brick bungalow in West Auckland, saying he needed a new master suite and more living space. We worked closely with him to understand his needs and how the space would be used by his growing family.
A new colorsteel roof and wall cladding was added, knitting the existing home and new extension together, with light cedar cladding emphasising the new two story gable. A glass transition space links the two parts with a flexible study space and open tread stair.

Respond Architects believe in architecture as a response; to people, place, and to physical, cultural and historical context. Design, for them, evolves from these factors, which is why they are not constrained to any one architectural style.
Respond Architects clients include some very cool, progressive home owners and developers, government departments including the Ministry of Education, Schools, Body Corporates, Property Managers and commercial property owners.
