Yolk House.

ArchiPro Project Summary - A vibrant split-level renovation of an Auckland bungalow, enhancing family living with a warm yellow palette and efficient materials, seamlessly connecting indoor spaces to the garden.

Title:: Yolk House
Architect:: Pac Studio
Category:: Residential/Renovations and Extensions

This renovation of an Auckland family home is simple, warm and fun. The owners presented a common set of problems: the inner city bungalow that they owned was disconnected from the landscape, was poorly laid out and lacked space for their growing family. The response was to create a split-level addition to the home, rectifying the planning of the house and creating an easy linkage to the garden.

The palette of materials used in this project came from a desire to create unusual experiences with cost-effective materials. The yellow floor reflects a warm light throughout the interior, creating the feeling of sunshine even on the most dreary winter day. Mill-finished aluminium cladding was chosen for the exterior as it allowed for fast and efficient construction, but also because it created soft reflections of the garden and the ever-changing sky in its surface.

Pac Studio. Pac Studio is a residential architecture and interior design studio, designing new homes and renovations across New Zealand. Every project starts with understanding you — the people who'll actually live there — your needs, your site, your story and how you want your home to feel. From there, every detail is considered with the same care: tested in VR before it's built, weighed for its carbon impact, and refined until it feels genuinely yours — an approach that's earned us over 50 design awards to date.
