Counties, Auckland

This contemporary family home has a strong architectural identity. Comprising of a collection of double-height, angular boxes and a large raw concrete blade, the architectural elements are defined not only by shape, but also by different materials. The vertical lines of the upper level Scyon Stria cladding enhance the sense of height and balance the visual mass of the raw concrete wall, which extends through to the kitchen-family area and provides a strong link between inside and out. This magnificent 355 sqm home features clearly defined spaces. With four bedrooms, a study, double garage and three living areas there is space for each of the family to enjoy. The three living areas include a media room and upper level sitting area with expansive views.
