This Auckland architectural masterpiece has made achieving modern work-life balance an art form. The striking cedar-clad design is comprised of a lower living volume with an extensive cantilevered upper volume with a sculptural V-shaped support.

The downstairs media room and upstairs bedrooms all feature staggered, angled windows which lend this home an idiosyncratic serated edge. The vast kitchen/dining/living domain is all clean lines and uninterrupted glazing, opening to the outdoor lounge, pool and patio.

The exquisite entertainer’s kitchen with extensive central island is refined yet functional in rich, textured joinery. Track lighting delivers definition above, running into the open-plan living space which centres around a black feature wall and recessed fire.

A black corkscrew staircase links the levels. It’s lit from above by a circular skylight – a halo that blesses this internal feature with natural light.

A masterclass in understated opulence, the home’s three bathrooms are finished in elegant tiles and equipped with only the finest fixtures.
