Known for their ‘no cookie cutter’ approach to home design, Bosanac Builders teamed up with its sister company Heritage Homes (Auckland South) to create a truly unique home that ticked all the boxes for its professional performer owners
With a love of musical theatre, it is no wonder that at the top of the list of needs and wants was a home designed with a sense of stage presence. Reflecting the dramatic landscape, architecture and history of the surrounding area this gorgeous church style villa stands as a unique piece of history reborn. Having lived in the region for some time, its owners had seen the ebbs and flow of design as well as the comings and goings of buildings in what is now a protected Heritage zone. In fact, long enough to have been witness to the day that an old church had been removed, in favour of a must more garish, modern structure.
Moved by their fondness for that building, this home embodies all that they loved about the old church, reimagined into a cozy family home. While it is themed for yesteryear, this new home is fit in every way for modern living. Crafted from new materials using traditional methods could have been no easy feat in this home with its Gothic style archways echoed around the home, or vaulted rooms and tall curvaceous timber skirting and architraves.
There’s an old saying that ‘Good things come in small packages.’ This is certainly the case when applied to this home. While it may pack a powerful punch, standing out in the street – this generous 3 bedroom + study, 2 living room, open plan family home stands at only 171m2. It is crafted to fit a long, narrow and sloped site, while accommodating outdoor living and harbour views from strategic locations.
