16A Mainston Road, Remuera, Auckland, 1050, New Zealand

People who have worked with prominent architect Marshall Cook say that, like living in his houses, it is an experience no-one can ever forget. In the late eighties Cook designed this captivating north-facing home, making the most of its natural surroundings. Tucked away in a quiet heritage pocket in central Remuera, a recent makeover has refreshed and transformed it into a modern zen-like sanctuary with open-plan clarity, material simplicity, superb indoor/outdoor flow and natural light. Mature evergreen and deciduous trees form a screen that hides and protects the house from the outside world. Inside feels as natural as the distinctive cedar exterior; with timber utilised in lieu of aluminium and concrete. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is ideal for discerning couples and families wanting a spacious city-edge home.
