Herne Bay Hideaway / Lloyd Hartley Architects
At the end of a long driveway, nestled amongst the neighboring houses and established Pohutukawa trees, an existing 1960?s brick and tile home sat stubbornly in the middle of the site. While functional, the existing dwelling provided a confronting car-centric entry and failed to engage with the landscape or the spectacular views over Cox?s Bay in Auckland?s Waitemata Harbour.

Lloyd Hartley was asked to transform this house into a modern home that responds to its context and provides a private city oasis for a young family. The primary architectural strategy is a covered entry courtyard, with the house bridging over, to create a pedestrian-friendly entrance.
