Pink House

A 235m2 family home.  Major design constraints were economic and site based.

Using a sprayed texture finish, concrete roof tiles, aluminium joinery, the primary intention was to establish an image while transcending the suburban genre, uses all of its components to achieve that end.

Situated on a typical cross leased site the house is a complementary 2 storey version of the earlier single store Seeto House 1 next door, thus completing the site composition.

Unique design elements include:  double width front door • Tall skylit entrance hall • skewed stair • bridge over dining space • kitchen hub with snug and breakfast alcoves • back to back fireplace celebrating winter fires summer barbecues Auckland style.

  The 2 house complex suggests a suburban alternative for building on cross leased sections.
