36 Schofield Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland City, Auckland Architectural family masterpiece

Occupying a 534m2 site with grace and ease, this unabashedly contemporary five-bedroom home offers executive family living in the heart of ever-popular Grey Lynn.

Designed by Jack McKinney Architects and winner of 2019’s HOME magazine Home of the Year, the striking residence was created in collaboration with builder Cameron Ireland and interior designer Rachael Newnham as their own home, and the attention to detail is unparalleled.

Designed to stand out from the crowd and with a 56-tonne cantilevered concrete roof soaring over an open-plan living area, the concrete and steel build is a study in modern luxury, whilst also serving as a fantastic family home.

The main living space opens to an expansive front deck with views to the SkyTower and all day sun. A heated pool with Italian porcelain tiled wall is there to be enjoyed, and entertaining a given thanks to the state-of-the-art kitchen with integrated Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances, a stunning soap stone benchtop and generous scullery. A long, steel-lined corridor leads to the rear of the home, with guest powder room, family bathroom, laundry and four generous double bedrooms lying to either side. Two bedrooms feature mezzanine platforms the kids will love, one with ensuite for guests and all opening to private landscaped garden.

Upstairs, the primary suite with a view over the nearby park reveals a glorious command of light, space and geometry. A generous dressing room sports an abundance of custom features, while a chic ensuite and floor to ceiling glass doors opening out to private decking. Also on this level a generous second living area offering complete separation.

Dubbed the Diagrid House, the sculptural home was designed to push boundaries, but is also beautifully configured for harmonious family living. With a four car garage and off street for two vehicles, and in a prime location just moments from Grey Lynn Park, this is a masterpiece of modern living.
