The Lake House, Rodney

"Set on an open, corner site, the brief for this home was to create a family haven with maximum privacy and street presence." — Chris Tate

The spectacular home is located in Takapuna's Lake Pupuke and embodies a contemporary, modern Hollywood architectural design by Chris Tate Architecture and built by Team Builders Ltd.

The house's design first draws attention to the impressive and unique slattered screen that encases the top level of the home that Chris explains, serves in both functionality and aesthetic — "providing the family with privacy and adding an element of drama to the overall scheme".

The design of the home used a courtyard, compound-style, and included an inward-facing experience for the family. To bring light and radiance into the home — large amounts of glazing were incorporated from our APL Architectural suite of aluminium joinery.

Mahuika, Waiheke Island

A home that magically captures the essence of native Aotearoa, located at Cowes Bay, southeast of Waiheke Island. The impressive site encaptures the coastline, native bush, and nearby stream— which all remained a focal point throughout the entirety of the home's design. 

The home's completion dates back to 2020, designed by the team at Daniel Marshall Architects and built by Lindesay Construction. A key desire of the client— who was a New Zealand family based aboard, was to design and create a holiday home that "forms a connection back to their native Aotearoa," says architect, Daniel Marshall. 

The location itself is the perfect encompass of Aotearoa— Cowes Bay has remained a desired Waiheke Island destination among visitors since the 1800s. A villa was constructed on the new homes site in the early 1900s— this, alongside much native bush, had diminished due to colonisation of the late 1900s.

A detail-rich, urban-chic home, this easy winner of the 2023 NZIA Auckland Awards is also a strong contender in the Master Builder's 2024 House of the Year competition, named a Regional Category Winner and received both the Regional Lifestyle and Gold Award.

Built by the talented team at Hargraves Homes and designed by Architect Guy Tarrant, this project features meticulously designed and executed elements. Windowmakers were excited to be part of this project and proud of the finished result, as well as the teamwork shared with the architect, builders, homeowners, and other subcontractors involved throughout the journey to complete this project to such high standards.


A key requirement for this project was a soft, natural palette featuring cream bricks, oak, polished concrete, and painted board and batten cladding. The frost finish of the aluminium joinery was chosen for its simplicity, durability, and ability to seamlessly integrate all textures and elements, delivering a cohesive finished product.

The most intricate detail of the home’s glazing is the upstairs custom windows that follow the triangular arc of the ceiling lines, maximising natural light in the home. This impressive architectural feature, executed by Windowmakers, maximizes every square centimetre of the space. Known for pushing boundaries, Windowmakers brings each window design concept to life with precision and craftsmanship.
