Other Projects by Dorrington Atcheson Architects
Westmere Park Avenue
Westmere Park Avenue, Westmere, Auckland, New Zealand
The
exisiting bungalow and garage required updating to accommodate the needs of a
young family and to maximise the outdoor living available. The site in Westmere
sloped away from the street façade, with little connection to the backyard.
The house consists of 4
main elements – the original house now houses three bedrooms, a generous family
bathroom and a second open living space/playroom for the children.
A living pavilion with
extensive north-facing glazed sliders and linked to the bedroom block via a glazed
sloping link, is compact yet highly functional and provides an all year round connection
to the backyard.
The timber shelving
divider houses storage for the kitchen and a satellite desk on one side and the
tv, stereo and bookshelves on the living room side. A built in window seat and
freestanding fireplace complete the space.
The kitchen features
black and white railway tiles and gaboon ply cabinetry.
Across the courtyard the
original garage has been repurposed into a flexi-room for music, art, play and
study.
The courtyard itself is
a continuation of the living pavilion and flexi-room which both open seamlessly
onto this sun trap.
The addition is in an
unapologetically modern style with bandsawn ply and alumiminium joinery in contrast
to the traditional weatherboard house.
