Wow is the word that comes to mind on initial sight of this great Auckland, New Zealand property design and style by Bossley Architects. A stone wall separates the residence from the street, whilst at the other finish of the web site, a cliff overlooks serene vistas of views of Browns Island and Karaka Bay. While this odd but lovely site is undoubtedly a draw, the house itself is somewhat of a local landmark, its front clad in a signature wood panel shell – a traditional material employed in a contemporary way. But facing the bay, a glass facade invites the views in.

“The type of this house has been determined by the constraints of the web site,” explain the architects. “The property is sited in Glendowie among a all-natural edge designed by the steep bush-clad cliff that rolls down to Karaka Bay and the sinuous road that the property fronts onto. The kink in the road outdoors the property is reflected in the boundary and the front yard setback line for the house. In order to maximize the internet site the property has been built right up to this front yard setback line and also reinforces the kink.”

The house is clad in a veil of dark-stained cedar panels operating horizontally across the facade, adding visual interest while obscuring interiors from street view.

Like its facade, interiors are also influenced by this bold exterior style, reflected via the copious windows, like contemporary art, framed and hanging on show. From the architects, “An open-riser timber and steel stair winds up through a triple-height space from the garage level to the primary living level and then on up to an additional two levels. Your view of the stair is filtered via layers of a stainless steel mesh screen hanging from the ceiling in between the stairs and a dark stained timber screen.”

While the street side of the residence is obscured with wood, the bay-side is open, providing unobstructed views of water and nature.

Even the bathroom boasts a clerestory window, letting organic light flow into this dark, dramatic space, featuring dark slate tiles, wall-to-wall mirror, wealthy red backsplash, and an invisible glass shower.

These modern spaces are warmed up with wealthy wood floors, and sunlight pouring in via floor to ceiling glass. A modern day fireplace at one particular finish, and a kitchen at the other of this open notion strategy tends to make this a best entertaining region.
