Precast Concrete Walls House in New Zealand

Designed by New Zealand architecture firm Daniel Marshall Architects, this precast concrete walls house injects some urban flair into its suburban surroundings. Located in Auckland, this contemporary style concrete house was designed for a young family with two boys – which meant plenty of open spaces were a must. And to ensure every inch of the indoors gets its own piece of nature, the expansive glass wall facade with walkouts to the balconies frames some of Mother Nature’s best, visible from any point in this home. Modern minimalist living is a prevailing theme inside of the precast walls, where cool, clean finishes meet the green suburban views head-on. And, as might be expected with a home so rooted in alfresco living, a warm yet contemporary outdoor entertaining area – complete with a corner fireplace – is surely the hotspot, day or night. This comfortable outdoor living room may be small, but it sure is sweet! Daniel Marshall Architects
