St Heliers House
Saint Heliers, Auckland, New Zealand
The house is set on a gently sloping
site that is surrounded by existing houses to the East, West and South. The
elevated site provides sweeping northern views over St Heliers to the Waitemata
Harbour beyond.
The shape and form of the dwelling was
established to maximise the site and the northern aspect. A hanging corten-steel
entry canopy is flanked by a large garage and courtyard wall. This leads through
to a gallery spine with private courtyards either side. A media room opens out
onto the visible courtyard while the 3 bedrooms and laundry each open out onto
private courtyards.
A three storey in-situ concrete
stairwell wall leads to the upper levels. Vertical timber battens adjacent filters
light and permit visual connections to the spaces beyond. The second level
contains the main family, kitchen and dining areas with a separate living room
and bedroom. These living areas face out to the sea views while the dining and
kitchen area also opens out onto a rear courtyard with an inground swimming
pool and terrace.
The main bedroom with an ensuite
bathroom, dressing room and separate study is located on the third level. Above
this an exterior roof terrace is accessed via a roof hatch to maximise the 360
degree panoramic views.
Modern construction consisting of a
mix of natural timbers, corten steel, zinc and glass reflect a contemporary yet
sensitive material selection.
Finishes of materials are natural
blacks, browns and light greys, offset by the red of the corten steel. The
white interior is softened by the warmth of the Australian Blackwood timber
joinery and American Oak floor contrasting with the raw finish of the in-situ
concrete.
