Located in a small residential pocket of metropolitan Auckland, Ridge House is an addition and alteration of a simple 1890’s timber worker’s cottage. Sited within a Special Character housing zone, the long, narrow plot slopes to the South with views across to Maungawhau/Mt Eden (one of fifty-three volcanoes within the city confines).
The project involved restoration of the original interior footprint , with replanning to accomodate the sleeping and bathing spaces, as well as a new extension to the rear of the cottage for shared living and a connection to the garden.
