Positioned between its two neighbours, this townhouse occupies the heart of a development that demanded equal measures of technical expertise and design finesse. Located on a challenging 926sqm site accessed via a long right-of-way, the home forms part of a carefully considered subdivision that transformed a single property into three elegant residences. Part of the flood-management strategy involved bringing a buried stormwater pipe into an above-ground channel and reinstating an open stream, which involved extensive earthworks, piling and environmental restoration helping to reshape the landscape.

Rising over three levels, the home balances contemporary architecture with practical family living. A double garage and guest suite occupy the ground floor, providing flexibility for visitors, extended family or independent living. Above, open-plan living spaces unfold around the kitchen, while large sliding doors connect to timber decks and leafy outlooks beyond. The upper level accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a private main suite. Throughout, a restrained palette and carefully crafted detailing create a sense of quiet sophistication. Stone-lined bathrooms, bespoke joinery and precisely resolved finishes reflect the high level of construction discipline required across the wider project. The result is a refined urban home that brings architectural clarity to one of Auckland’s most sought-after suburbs.
