This beautiful, expansive home was a different project for us from the get go as it was constructed using pre-cast concrete panels. This means that it falls out of our standard Building Code and provided new challanges and learnings in New Zealand residential architecture. This home has been designed to work well with Winter and Summer sun angles, using 2 meter eaves to manipulate how the sun reached the internal spaces depending on the time of year.

Tucked away in Henderson Valley, this home is positioned on a beautiful, large rural site. A single level 4 bedroom, double garage, deck for outdoor entertainment and an open plan living, dining and kitchen.
The initial design phase was deciding where the house would be situated on a 3.27 hectare site to maximise natural light, circulation on site and the view of the Waitakere Foothills. Once we had established the location, we designed the new build to have two wings on either side and an entertaining space in the middle.
Glendowie Residence
With views of the ocean and Rangitoto, how could you say this is not a special architectural design? This Auckland architecture has been designed to feel like you are coming home to a holiday. We worked with different types of cladding to emphasize the structural members such as the columns covered in schist stone. Frameless, glass balustrade was chosen to replicate the “glass house” style and to maximise the view.

This large, residential new build boasts quality with gable roofs, timber weatherboard and replicated facades. We designed this house to be the ultimate family home with 6 bedrooms, a pool, covered deck and expansive garden.
GLEN EDEN MINOR DWELLING
This 58m2 minor dwelling that consists of two bedrooms, bathroom, a laundry cupboard and an open plan kitchen, living and dining. A single car garage adds safe car lock up and additional overflow storage. The dwelling was a new addition to the site that has an 1970’s existing house with a double steel garage. This has provided the owner a diverse range of options including home and income, an opportunity for extended larger families of different generations to stay. This type of development is available for the Single House Zone under the new Unitary Plan and is a great alternative if subdivision is not an option due to site area.
CORNWALLIS RESIDENCE
Mangawhai Beach House
"From the initial consultation to consent, the crew at Alliance Architecture were approachable, knowledgeable and an absolute delight to deal with. I have recommended them to everyone contemplating building."
