Designed by the Sun

This home is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of its stunning location, facing a peaceful park with uninterrupted views and a calming northwest exposure. A thoughtful sun study guided the architectural design, ensuring the house is bathed in natural light throughout the day. The result is a warm and inviting space where the changing light brings life to every corner.

Modern Yet Timeless

Inspired by the classic Kiwi villa, the design of this home is both modern and timeless. With a focus on natural materials like stone, wood, and brass, the interior is crafted to remain beautiful for years to come, avoiding fleeting trends in favor of lasting quality.

A Balancing Act

With the owners being a designer and a procurement specialist, the project demanded a careful balance between high-end finishes and a strict budget. The building team rose to the challenge, finding innovative solutions that aligned with the owners’ vision without compromising on quality or cost. Despite the challenges of building during the COVID-19 pandemic, careful planning and early material procurement ensured the project stayed on schedule, reflecting the dedication and skill of everyone involved.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

The finished home is a true reflection of the collaborative effort between the owners, architects, and builders. It’s a space that embodies craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the power of working together to create something truly special—a welcoming and enduring place to call home.
