West End Road House
72, West End Road, Westmere, Auckland, New Zealand
The original bungalow,
though dated and backwards in its planning, had a great deal of potential to
create a substantial family home.
The challenge lay in
re-designing the space to maximise sun and views, making the most of the
south-facing pool area and linking this with the predominantly north-facing
living.
Bedrooms were moved to
the back of the house to combat the noise from a busy road and a 2 car garage
at street level was built, along with creating a new access to the house,
originally a shared stairway with the neighbour.
The roof of the garage
was reinforced and planted as a lawn for extra north-facing outdoor living and
the front deck re-built as a substantial deck opening from the kitchen, with
sea views and stairs to the lawn.
Timber bifold doors
front and back open seamlessly to the outdoor living spaces and there is a natural
flow between the two. Internal glass sliding doors allow the front of the house
to be closed off from the rear when required.
A timber-clad modernist box,
extruded from the rear of the bungalow, incorporates the master suite including
bathroom, second living room, office and private deck. This cantilevers over
the back deck area, creating a covered poolside space, perfect for entertaining
and providing relief from the summer sun.
Stairs from the upstairs
deck lead to a roof-deck on top of the box with outstanding sea and city views.
A neutral material and colour palette allows the family to bring
colour and interest into the home with their furniture and objets d’art.
