Where light meets form, this thoughtfully designed ten-lot residential development in Mairangi Bay, Auckland, seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with environmentally responsive design. Each home is distinguished by a luminous white brick façade, textured with delicate perforations that introduce a tactile quality and promote natural ventilation for passive cooling and sustainable living. The façade’s permeable brickwork contrasts subtly with smooth surfaces, adding visual interest and enhancing airflow throughout the spaces.

Striking corner windows maximise daylight and frame expansive views, fostering a strong connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. The landscaping strategy prioritises native plantings and carefully selected specimen trees known for their resilience and ecological value. This creates a vibrant, biodiverse environment that integrates the development into its coastal context while providing natural shade and privacy.
The stepped outdoor living areas are thoughtfully terraced to follow the site's natural contours, offering versatile spaces for recreation, relaxation, and social interaction. This layered design encourages residents to engage with their surroundings, promoting a harmonious indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Overall, the development balances modern architectural form with environmental sensitivity, creating a community that embraces natural light and thoughtful design, offering residents a bright, uplifting place to live that truly reflects the spirit of Luma House and its connection to Mairangi Bay.
