Hush house: Architectural calm in Remuera

Privately positioned in a desirable setting, this north facing residence is a home shaped by light, nature and quiet architectural intention.

With early concept design by acclaimed architect Ron Sang, the home carries a strong sense of proportion, outlook and connection to the landscape. Expansive glazing, cantilever balcony, cedar cladding, plaster on brick and Alucobond create a refined yet grounded architectural feel. A detailed booklet outlining the home's architectural concept and design philosophy will be available at the open home.

Inside, the atmosphere is calm, warm and considered. Dark tones, timber flooring, custom lighting and carefully framed garden views bring a sense of quiet luxury, while generous living areas open naturally to the northern sun.

The generous kitchen and central family space form the heart of the home. Designed to support both Western and Asian cooking, the space includes a well-appointed main kitchen plus a scullery with cooktop, Gaggenau ovens, steam oven, wine fridge and excellent storage, combining everyday practicality with a calm, spacious feel.

The garden is central to the experience. Zen inspired courtyards, mature trees, Japanese maple, water feature, bamboo fence, stone pathways and planted islands create a private natural sanctuary that changes beautifully with the seasons.

The flexible layout is ideal for modern family living, with six bedrooms and excellent separation. The lower level can function almost independently, offering two bedrooms, one of which features an ensuite, making it ideal for teenagers, guests, extended family, working from home or homestay style accommodation.

The location makes daily life simple. Close to Remuera Village, the property is also zoned for Remuera School, Remuera Intermediate, Epsom Girls Grammar School and Auckland Grammar School. Top private schools including King's School, Diocesan, St Cuthbert's and ACG are all within easy reach.

With excellent access to Newmarket, Parnell, Orakei Basin and Auckland CBD, this address offers the best of Remuera living with prestige, schooling, convenience and lifestyle in one beautifully considered family home.

A home of stillness, substance and soul, where architecture, garden and daily life come together beautifully.
