Celebrating world-class city and harbour views and setting a new benchmark in opulent, luxurious design, this 823 sq m architectural masterpiece was inspired by the finest and most exclusive hotels from around the globe. It's proudly positioned on a landmark 1434 sq m site on Paritai Drive in Orakei, widely regarded as one of New Zealand's most prestigious addresses.
The extraordinary proportions, dazzling outlook and inspired use of rare materials throughout make this home a functional work of art and it's a dream for entertaining on a grand or intimate scale.
Renowned architects Young and Richards brought the concept for the solid concrete residence to life, with palatial interiors accented with roman travertine, amazonite, hand-carved stone and timber. Walls of full height glass showcase many of Auckland's key landmarks, including the Sky Tower, busy harbour, ports, Rangitoto, North Head and Mount Victoria, while internal garden courtyards provide a touch of greenery.
The kitchen, dining and living z ones stretch out in one enormous space, which flows out to the infinity pool and spa complex. Named 'The Cafe,' the social kitchen place to gather and host friends and clients, while tucked behind out of sight, the 'Chef's Kitchen' is equipped with integrated Gaggenau appliances and can cater for 200 guests. There is also a maid's quarters or au pair accommodation on this level.
At the heart of the home, the curved Oak staircase climbs three levels and was designed by Singapore-based Weijenberg interior design studio and crafted locally. It took two years to build and won a Master Joiners Award in 2022. Located off the glass gallery corridor upstairs, all bedrooms have their own deck and dressing room, including the 106 sq m master suite.
From the tapware to the wardrobes, every exquisite element has been selected for both form and function. Other highlights include six-car internal garaging, a gym, a bunker, luxurious spa-like bathrooms and a Schindler elevator with gold satin finish. As well as state-of-the-art security systems, the house features fully automated lighting, door handles and temperature control.
