Designed as a seamless extension of its environment, this contemporary waterfront residence embraces the unique character of its Westmere setting. Green roof forms, integrated landscaping, and carefully framed harbour views work together to create a strong connection between the home and its surroundings. Composed as a collection of interlocking architectural forms, the home responds thoughtfully to the site’s topography, orientation, and spectacular outlooks across the Waitemata Harbour. Every element has been considered to maximise natural light, outlook, and liveability, while enhancing environmental performance. The result is a home that balances architectural presence with environmental sensitivity—capturing expansive harbour views while establishing a confident and distinctive street presence. Westmere Box House: A contemporary Waterfront Retreat Positioned within one of Auckland’s most desirable waterfront suburbs, Westmere Box House was designed to respond thoughtfully to its unique waterside setting. The home’s distinctive architectural form, integrated landscaping, and green roof elements work together to create a seamless connection between the built form and its landscape. Designed to balance generous family living with relaxed entertaining, the home combines brick, timber, and metal cladding to create a refined material palette that enhances both its exterior expression and interior character. Expansive glazing and carefully considered sightlines capture views of the water while maximising natural light throughout the home. Every detail was meticulously executed to achieve a balance between architectural presence, functionality, and environmental performance. Extensive green roof systems soften the architectural form and strengthen the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. The result is a sophisticated family home that feels both grounded in its landscape and enduring in its design—a testament to the successful collaboration between client, architect, consultants, and construction team.

Professional Reviews

“We contacted Brent and the Evolution Builders team for a large-scale renovation on our villa in Grey Lynn in 2011. Brent came to us on recommendation from our architect, Studio John Irving, as they had successfully completed a number of projects together. It was important to us that there was a strong and established working relationship between our builder and architect as this collaboration is crucial to a great outcome. From the very first meeting with Brent, we knew that Evolution were the right team for our project. Their approach was open and very transparent and we had immediate confidence in their ability to get the job done. We had heard nightmare stories from prople who had built and renovated in the past, so we went into the project with a little trepidation, but with Brent on board, these fears were completely unfounded. Throughout the project, Brent worked really collaboratively with us and with our architect and we felt we knew what was going on at every stage of the build. The team was true to their word on timing and budget and the end result is a fantastic home to live in, delivered to our high standards around quality. For budget reasons, we chose to live through much of the renovation so we couldn’t have been much more active on site. The guys at Evolution were really accommodating throughout and would always leave the site tidy to ensure we had a good experience and minimum disruption (despite liging in a construction zone with a makeshift kitchen). We couldn’t recommend Brent and the Evolution team more highly. They are open, honest, and pragmatic, and we would definitely look to use them again in the future.”
