Overview

Architecture. Light. Absolute Calm.

Considered unconventional yet delivering on intent, 78 Hapua Street was conceived as an exploration of light, structure and adaptable living. Designed and original built by architect Richard George as his own in 2007, refined and enhanced by our current owners until 2025, it will always feel quietly radical in a luscious, zen-like green setting. Welcome to a home where paradox works, and contrast reflects your own unique family dynamic. Steel columns carry the form allowing wide expanses of double glazed glass with remote control electric blinds to open the living spaces to greenery on every side. Light moves through the house from morning to evening, changing the atmosphere throughout the day. The gardens are an essential part of the composition; beautifully established and carefully arranged. Above it all, a roof terrace offers an elevated outlook across the surrounding treescape to the water - a striking vantage point that completes the home's layered design. The main living level is generous and fluid. A long stainless-steel bench forms the centre of the kitchen and entertaining area. Multiple living zones allow the house to shift easily between everyday living and larger gatherings - the flexi-room ground level is a superb area for teenagers or as a media room - as there is a bathroom on this floor, you could also explore use for extended family. Upstairs, sliding panels allow spaces to open or close as required - a versatile approach to living influenced by Japanese architecture and rarely seen in contemporary housing. There is scope to return to 3 bedrooms, or retain as 2 large luxurious bedrooms with ensuites. Location only strengthens the proposition. Hapua Street remains one of Remuera's quieter addresses, yet it sits firmly within a premium pocket - moments from Bloodworth Park, close to Remuera Village and Newmarket, and within the Double Grammar Zone. For buyers who value design and originality, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home that sits comfortably outside the ordinary. Architecture of this calibre is seldom offered to the market. Give Jen or Harry a call to book your private viewing with easy access.
