A dramatic vertical journey connects this heritage home to the belvedere above — an ascent shaped by colour, craftsmanship and moments of discovery.

Inspired by the spatial richness of John Soane, the staircase transforms movement through the house into an experience of theatre and wonder

Perched above the established canopy and harbour edge, Waka Huia's belvedere offers a quiet retreat within the home.

Framed views unfold across Auckland’s landscape, while apricot and golden tones enrich the experience of light, atmosphere and reflection throughout the day.

Every surface of the Belvedere reveals a commitment to craftsmanship and delight - a contemporary cabinet of curiosities.@jrhoskingcarpentersandco

The renovation at Waka Huia began with a careful reworking of the plan — resolving long-standing spatial challenges while respecting the home’s heritage fabric. Relocating the kitchen strengthened its connection to the dining room, verandah and garden

Rising through Waka Huia, colour, light and craft unfold in sequence.At the homes centre, the Belvedere reimagines a traditional library as a soaring wunderkammer - a place for books, artworks, keepsakes and framed harbour views.@jrhoskingcarpentersandco @nextleveljoineryltd

A house shaped by time and memory - Waka Huia’s renewed verandah wraps gently to the north-east, extending the interior into the garden and creating sheltered spaces for living, gathering and quiet moments. Heritage charm is preserved, while the home evolves for contemporary life.

Within Waka Huia, the kitchen celebrates craftsmanship through finely detailed timber joinery, warm honeyed kauri and carefully resolved brass accents. Conceived as a lasting piece of furniture, the space reflects a commitment to material integrity, tactility and enduring design
