Mahuika, Waiheke Island

Although, we can see that since the native bush has flourished again, yet, the villa remained irretrievable. However, the villa's essence remains incorporated into the home's design by an impressive living room glass pavilion that uses our Metro Series range and sits precisely where the villa was once nestled— and completely immersed in the site's natural surroundings. According to architect Daniel Marshall, "the concept for the glass pavilion was to take advantage of the three different conditions; the coast, stream, and dense native bush". The addition of ThermalHEART technology within the glass pavilion windows creates optimum temperature comfort for the family to enjoy the impressive space all year round. 

The textiles and materials throughout the home including dark cedar, Low-E reflective glass, and concrete work together harmoniously to both complement and maximise the above three conditions. Further accompanied by our bespoke aluminium joinery in Forst Ultra Black Anodised. This project uses high quality windows and doors from both our APL Architectural Series and Metro Series aluminium joinery ranges— including sliding doors and windows, custom design windows, and awning windows. In which, their design and function are to emphasise the connection and access to the outside environment, all while framing the impressive views on offer.
