The Clear Lake Cottage proposes a simple tent-like envelope to house both program of the summer home and the sheltered outdoor spaces under a single vernacular form. A singular roof presents a child-like impression of house; rectilinear and ordered in symmetry while playfully skewed in volume. Nestled within a forest, the building is sculpted and stepped to take advantage of the land; modelling the natural grade. Open and closed faces respond to shoreline views or quiet wooded depths. Like a tent the porosity of the building’s envelope strengthens the experience of ‘cottage’. All the while achieving privileged views to the lake while separating family members for sometimes much need privacy.

The vaulted tent-like ceiling was left intact. Fireplaces were remodelled, floors sanded and walls sanded and repainted.

The subdivision of an existing bungalow site and new-build design of a contemporary seaside residence. Our innovative clients had a vision to subdivide their existing property and create a modern low-maintenance home for their retirement years. The brief called for a two-storey design that maximised city and sea views, while seamlessly harmonising with the preexisting bungalow. Northcote Point House presents a minimalist form that fuses traditional elements as a homage to the area's architectural heritage. Adorned in white weatherboards and painted brick, the living area features soaring vaulted ceilings, instilling a sense of spaciousness and openness within the 70-square-meter floor plan. Strategically positioned skylights above the lounge and kitchen bathe the interiors in natural light, while the upper-level balcony provides a sweeping vantage point overlooking the harbour and the Auckland city skyline. Unveiled in 2023, this contemporary seaside new-build project underscores Macfie Architecture's unyielding commitment to crafting distinctive, refined environments that encapsulate the essence of contemporary living while honouring historical roots.

Art Concepts London, Koja Design Studio, and Nu Projects are very excited to join forces in a new collaborating partnership. In this elegant Victorian living room, the modern decoration elements fit perfectly.
