THIRTY 8 FINCH, nestled on the north facing edge of Western Springs, a sloped site that gives rise to a set of three dwellings with a design and engineering solution that delivers two three-storey unit and one two-storey. The homes offer generous outdoor living and entertaining areas designed to make full use of their outlook with North facing decks that provide privacy and intimate outdoor spaces that deliver the quintessential connection between inside and out. Within each unit clever interior planning is amplified by simple and elegant layouts that provide flexible open plan living, kitchen and dining areas all arranged to allow natural light deep into the plan creating warm and light interiors while delivering elevated north and western views across Western Springs. A series of screening elements on the exterior punctuates the design of the units while adding privacy and allowing veiled and dappled light to permeate the interior spaces.
David Ponting:
"The three homes bring a geometric international character to the Finch Street frontage, expressed as 'rational contemporary cubes' cascading down the site.
These strong sculpted forms offer flow, function and elevation to the living spaces, embracing the big north & western outlook and future-proofing the owners from ongoing development as Auckland adapts.
The interiors offer an elegant, mid-century expression of urban lifestyle, designed to provide relaxed, refined comfort on the edge of our busy city".
