Orakei House


A new large single residence with underground parking, a wine cellar, and two levels above ground housing accommodation and living spaces. The site enjoys a north aspect and wide views across Auckland harbour. Construction is proposed to be a combination of cast in-situ concrete frame and floor slabs with masonry infill walls. Extensive external sun shading and use of coated glazing is proposed to address energy efficiency issues, while planning around a central courtyard allows for sheltered year round outdoor living space.
