Set discreetly back from one of Remuera’s most distinguished streets, this remarkable residence presents a seamless blend of traditional character and modern expression. The brilliance of its architectural intent, the quality of its material and the precision of its detailing extend far beyond first impression.
Originally conceived by Arts & Crafts architect Gerald Jones and later entirely reimagined as the personal residence of acclaimed architect Noel Lane, the property represents a considered reinvention rather than a renovation– traditional form retained and spatial experience transformed. Across three interconnected levels, light and volume become architectural elements in themselves. A central vertical opening links the upper floors to the lower atrium, creating a constant sense of scale and flow, while two staircases positioned at opposing ends of the home allow movement to feel effortless.
The main level is thoughtfully designed for both daily living and gatherings. A north-facing walnut and travertine kitchen fitted with Gaggenau and Miele appliances forms the centre of the home, complemented by a light-filled dining area. Open casual living areas face both the front and rear, while a wood-panelled formal lounge provides a more intimate retreat.
On the ground level, a dramatic atrium anchors the home’s social life. Opening to an enclosed side courtyard and extending outward to a substantial rear sculptural courtyard, the space is equally suited to intimate celebrations or larger-scale occasions. The courtyard connects onwards to a generous lawn, while a concealed garage door allows the space to expand– a thoughtful design that enhances both flexibility and flow.
The upper level is dedicated to accommodation, featuring four bedrooms including a primary suite with an adjoining nursery or study. These rooms flow naturally to the rooftop terrace, where elevated views to Rangitoto and Orakei Basin provide a serene backdrop for evening drinks or quiet retreat.
The recently renewed surrounding grounds by Tony Murrell form a natural extension of the architecture and are crafted with the same uncompromising philosophy as the home itself. From the moment you enter the garden, walking across hammered basalt and warm-toned travertine, the integrity of the material selection is immediately apparent– not confined to just focal spaces, but carried throughout. The landscaping is executed with permanence in mind and designed to last a lifetime– a level of thoroughness rarely achieved.
Earth, Sea and Sky elements are subtly expressed across the expansive site through carefully curated aggregates and sculptural planting of exceptional calibre. The Japanese-style zen garden frames the pool, while pathways weave through bamboo, bonsai, camellias and evergreen azaleas, all of which remain engaging throughout the seasons. Both intimate and expansive, the grounds allow for contemplation and entertaining, with dynamic lighting carrying the atmosphere into the evening.
Positioned within the Double Grammar Zone, directly across from Victoria Avenue shops and moments from Remuera Village, the property offers both prestige and practicality. A timeless architectural masterpiece that is reimagined with purpose and executed without compromise.
