The layout, orientation and window positioning aims to provide calming splashes of green from every room of the house. The site orientation and generous rear yard informed the decision to use an L-shaped floor layout that positions the key spaces towards the North-West. This allows the house to capture all-day sun, shield from the wind and provide privacy from neighbouring properties. The house faces out onto a lush courtyard garden with views of the landscaping through every window in the house. The living room and master bedroom are considered the key spaces of the house and are generously sized and positioned to maximise sunlight. High level glazing provides all-day sunlight to these rooms, while smaller long windows at eye level create a sense of enclosure, safety and privacy. <img width="4526" height="2503" width_o="4526" height_o="2503" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/22e9e7d49ba115bd25a9e55d4ae79ce3c74f8619a864f16bae53b96dcd9c8792/Matipo-Road---Floor-Plan.png" data-mid="164965531" border="0" data-scale="69" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/22e9e7d49ba115bd25a9e55d4ae79ce3c74f8619a864f16bae53b96dcd9c8792/Matipo-Road---Floor-Plan.png" />&nbsp;Above:&nbsp;Proposed Floor Plan Right: Rendered Perspective View <img width="6710" height="8387" width_o="6710" height_o="8387" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/80393f017ad433e8ec96fb6f2f39329c201af23d8f49da34dcc36ed108086361/Matipo-Road-Render---outdoor-render--.jpg" data-mid="164102359" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/80393f017ad433e8ec96fb6f2f39329c201af23d8f49da34dcc36ed108086361/Matipo-Road-Render---outdoor-render--.jpg" /> <img width="7680" height="4320" width_o="7680" height_o="4320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19be6e712e7a7756dc35f0f39acf70a87c5e1900ec8268bdb3d35fb7a938f62e/Matipo-Road-Render---outdoor-render-2.jpg" data-mid="164102358" border="0" data-scale="95" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19be6e712e7a7756dc35f0f39acf70a87c5e1900ec8268bdb3d35fb7a938f62e/Matipo-Road-Render---outdoor-render-2.jpg" /> The mono-pitched roof allows for high level glazing to provide all-day sunlight and keep construction complexity to a minimum. Natural cladding and decking materials reinforce the concept of a connection with nature. Smaller long windows at eye level create a sense of enclosure, safety and privacy. The bathroom is sized to accommodate wheelchair access and includes a laundry cupboard and large level entry shower. The secondary bedroom is smaller but still large enough to fit a queen size bed for when a carer or guests stay. A floor area of 65m2 has been achieved. <img width="2830" height="1265" width_o="2830" height_o="1265" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/273122937cd7f94c073c4389b4dfc0d9414cb8abe144e9aa5e8c3eb33f832983/MatipoRoad-Full-Site.png" data-mid="164965411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/273122937cd7f94c073c4389b4dfc0d9414cb8abe144e9aa5e8c3eb33f832983/MatipoRoad-Full-Site.png" /> Above: Proposed Site Plan https://eha.nz/Allum-Street-1 Wed, 18 Jan 2023 01:15:28 +0000 Ethan Hunter Architect https://eha.nz/Allum-Street-1 ALLUM STREET Location: Kohimarama, AucklandStatus: &nbsp; Building Consent Issued &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Construction begins in March 2023 The elevated and sunny site called for a richly textured and tactile interior alteration. The primary intention of the renovation was to reconfigure and improve the living, dining and kitchen areas of the existing house.&nbsp; Signficant structural changes were made within the existing kitchen/dining and living area to create a larger open space. Bespoke timber and glass cabinetry units break the space into zones while preserving natural light and openess. The space receives fantastic views and sun throughout the morning and early afternoon. <img width="6037" height="3799" width_o="6037" height_o="3799" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29914df64bf27d606afbf1a2169e59905f467cd617778ac2c1e05cb3185c15dd/Proposed-Allum.png" data-mid="165892700" border="0" data-scale="99" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29914df64bf27d606afbf1a2169e59905f467cd617778ac2c1e05cb3185c15dd/Proposed-Allum.png" /> Above: Proposed Floor Plan <img width="5400" height="4320" width_o="5400" height_o="4320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53f64067047b5b7e02828463156d04bef44b638e241cc23ce5470874bbed9011/6122020_Living-Room-Final-Render_Allum-St.jpg" data-mid="165096584" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53f64067047b5b7e02828463156d04bef44b638e241cc23ce5470874bbed9011/6122020_Living-Room-Final-Render_Allum-St.jpg" /> <img width="5400" height="4320" width_o="5400" height_o="4320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea270f44210406b7903222c6b5ca8c21908f558813f050d4703f3f8867cea96d/6122022-kitchen-final-render_-Allum-Street.jpg" data-mid="165096617" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea270f44210406b7903222c6b5ca8c21908f558813f050d4703f3f8867cea96d/6122022-kitchen-final-render_-Allum-Street.jpg" />The high quality finishes in the existing house form the starting point for the internal specification - original native floorboards and timber windows and cladding suggest a timeless palette, equally at home as part of a contemporary style or mid century aesthetic. Authenticity of materials is key here - finishes have been selected for their inherent natural beauty, resulting in a richly textured and tactile interior that will continue to develop through the lifetime of the building. <img width="7024" height="3951" width_o="7024" height_o="3951" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ede6b71336056d7be026a48c24df7ab7de54ef95bb61ee6f7818a8069e6b53c/29-Nov-outdoor--room-render-no-crop-final_-72A-Allum-St.jpg" data-mid="165096636" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ede6b71336056d7be026a48c24df7ab7de54ef95bb61ee6f7818a8069e6b53c/29-Nov-outdoor--room-render-no-crop-final_-72A-Allum-St.jpg" /> A motorised louvre system and timber pergola is proposed for the outdoor living space. At the rear, a horizontal slat screen provides privacy, shading and acts as a windbreak. <img width="6038" height="3811" width_o="6038" height_o="3811" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c976c07ce95b9cbbbfb51b843d71ca864049fb8a7ed6c9a2d497aff94a67d8e9/Dem-Allum.png" data-mid="165892686" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c976c07ce95b9cbbbfb51b843d71ca864049fb8a7ed6c9a2d497aff94a67d8e9/Dem-Allum.png" /><img width="6037" height="3799" width_o="6037" height_o="3799" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29914df64bf27d606afbf1a2169e59905f467cd617778ac2c1e05cb3185c15dd/Proposed-Allum.png" data-mid="165892700" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29914df64bf27d606afbf1a2169e59905f467cd617778ac2c1e05cb3185c15dd/Proposed-Allum.png" /> Demolition Plan Proposed Floor Plan https://eha.nz/Reihana-Street Thu, 15 Dec 2022 07:51:55 +0000 Ethan Hunter Architect https://eha.nz/Reihana-Street REIHANA STREET Location: Ōrākei, Auckland Significant internal alterations and a new extension aim to fulfil the future living requirements of a young couple over the next ten years as they start a family. <img width="7174" height="4035" width_o="7174" height_o="4035" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19ca861107115dd3af797570963c896477beda79a5dbfb23a981256de976f45a/Reihana-Street-outdoor-deck-Render-02122022.jpg" data-mid="164045090" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19ca861107115dd3af797570963c896477beda79a5dbfb23a981256de976f45a/Reihana-Street-outdoor-deck-Render-02122022.jpg" /> The proposed extension adds a new bedroom, secondary living area and ensuite bathroom to the house. The extension provides a&nbsp; graded transition from inside to outside with the bedroom connecting to the outside through the use of high level glazing, a timber screen, and glazed bifold doors. A simple material palette of soft timber tones, salvaged brick and white painted plasterboard linings give the space a refined and calm quality. <img width="6958" height="3914" width_o="6958" height_o="3914" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7631eed1ab8af759d819408fc0d2919699600c48b8347e8aa1a5971cd6d34e93/Reihana-Street-bedroom-lookingout-Render-0901023.jpg" data-mid="164102707" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7631eed1ab8af759d819408fc0d2919699600c48b8347e8aa1a5971cd6d34e93/Reihana-Street-bedroom-lookingout-Render-0901023.jpg" /> The proposed extension provides a beautiful and multi functional secondary living space off the new bedroom. A sliding partition wall closes the space off to give privacy to the bedroom when required, and creates a smaller space perfectly suited as a media room, reading area, or play space for children. The built in window seat includes drawers, a book shelf and high level cupboards to maximise the efficiency of the space. A built in cabinetry wall within the bedroom also improves the functionality of the space and continues the warm material palette used throughout the house. <img width="7680" height="4320" width_o="7680" height_o="4320" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b39c82f3fd6eb19bd7ed355d0ca086efaa6b07e003ac1e568ec007c4a858e879/Reihana-Street-movie-room-Render-09012023.jpg" data-mid="164102885" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b39c82f3fd6eb19bd7ed355d0ca086efaa6b07e003ac1e568ec007c4a858e879/Reihana-Street-movie-room-Render-09012023.jpg" /> A new kitchen is proposed and the existing load bearing wall removed to connect to the the living, dining and outdoor areas. A seated bar area provides both a place to sit and additional benchtop space. A palette of warm and natural timber tones ties in with the aethetic of the proposed extension and gives a mid-century flavour to the space. These alterations aim to make the kitchen a functional and social space to use when entertaining guests. <img width="4962" height="2792" width_o="4962" height_o="2792" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13a807b4f7636fdb67e244ba40005a62228aead2fe4f42f3529f3e3c514386b4/Reihana-Street-Kitchen-Render-31122022.jpg" data-mid="164042693" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13a807b4f7636fdb67e244ba40005a62228aead2fe4f42f3529f3e3c514386b4/Reihana-Street-Kitchen-Render-31122022.jpg" /> https://eha.nz/Steel-Dining-Table Mon, 09 Jan 2023 22:39:13 +0000 Ethan Hunter Architect https://eha.nz/Steel-Dining-Table STEEL DINING TABLE Completed 2021 A bespoke hot-rolled steel and walnut dining table for two friend’s studio apartment <img width="4826" height="3219" width_o="4826" height_o="3219" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7841b95ba6f19a10421393865c47bc2372c1f06ea723606a8bc79c01f827674e/EHD_Final_15.jpg" data-mid="164171400" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7841b95ba6f19a10421393865c47bc2372c1f06ea723606a8bc79c01f827674e/EHD_Final_15.jpg" /> The clients requested a bespoke dining table for their small apartment in Auckland. Narrow entry points into the apartment required a table that could be brought in as a kitset and assembled inside. Blue hot-rolled steel and walnut timber inserts are contrasted against each other for a contemporary (yet hopefully timeless!) piece of furniture.&nbsp; <img width="3201" height="4458" width_o="3201" height_o="4458" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a0df44b67ec7b5265bf4b29bcf211c3316f40793d41f7ebaa9024ff1ba76fc6c/EHD_Final_5_crop.jpg" data-mid="164171735" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a0df44b67ec7b5265bf4b29bcf211c3316f40793d41f7ebaa9024ff1ba76fc6c/EHD_Final_5_crop.jpg" /> <img width="3226" height="3228" width_o="3226" height_o="3228" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/011b9c0ce3bb578b03ffdc7b9c7104b25a40e3af9d1678e6c9aee10ed3025d08/EHD_Final_17.jpg" data-mid="164171438" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/011b9c0ce3bb578b03ffdc7b9c7104b25a40e3af9d1678e6c9aee10ed3025d08/EHD_Final_17.jpg" /> The table legs are bolted into a concealed bracket within the apartment.
