Minor Dwelling - Northcross, Auckland

Northcross, Auckland

2026

Set on a sloping site with existing public stormwater infrastructure, this two-bedroom minor dwelling is designed to unlock the site’s potential for additional rental income. Carefully considered excavation and retaining walls maximise the usable outdoor and building areas while accommodating the site’s natural contours.

The layout prioritizes functionality, privacy, and natural light for both the main dwelling and the new minor dwelling. Lightweight construction, metal roofing, and natural timber cladding complement the existing brick veneer and tiled roof of the main house, creating a cohesive material palette that balances contemporary design with the character of the existing property.
