Located on a rise with spectacular views, this
home offers generous living spaces, indoor out-
door flow and classic lines.
Built by Fowler Homes, the U-shaped, four-
bedroom home wraps around a central court-
yard and was perfect for the beautiful if exposed
setting, says the managing director of Fowler
Homes Auckland South, Bret Robinson.
“The well-considered home features a large
open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that
offers dramatic views towards Rangitoto. How-
ever if the wind is up, the family can use the
sheltered inner courtyard.
“The owner has a building maintenance
company and so naturally had extremely high
standards right from the outset – which is why
he came to us,” says Robinson. “Fowler Homes
has a reputation for quality and detail.”

comprehensive design service. Here, however,

he supplied the kitchen and bathroom fittings,
the tiling and timber flooring.
Fowler Homes incorporated these elements
and created an open, flowing family home. The
