Recent Work – Rakau Home

This was a job for a classmate from architecture school who has recently began a practice called Constructive Architecture.  This project Tim designed and built his own home in Hataitai for his family. The building responds well to the steep topography, stepping down the hillside with multiple levels. One thing that took me away was the high level of craftsmanship throughout the build, the finishes in the kitchen and bathroom are beautiful and the window joinery is minimal and elegant. Tim has effectively used light and materials in a creative way, as I walked down through the spaces I was captivated by all the different light shafts. I recommend following Tims work as he is very skilled at his craft and has some exciting projects.
