Text description provided by the architects. Situated amongst dense native bush in Tītīrangi, Auckland, this home is a simple 14x8 metre rectangular plan. To avoid extensive excavation, the decision was made early on to leave the car on the street. Instead of a garage, storage is provided for by a 'bus stop'; a space for the young family to store their bikes, bins, etc. Access to the house is via a narrow bridge which doubles as a spot for a cup of tea in the morning sun, and a race track for the couple's young child.
