Potts House

WHITFORD | New Build | 2021
Native Architecture

On a two-hectare site overlooking the Turanga Creek you’ll find the three distinct gabled forms of this exquisite 472sqm house. Each pavilion has a distinct purpose and the three are separated by a glass and black cedar-screened entry, which provides a glimpse of the views beyond, while maintaining privacy in the house.

The cedar cladding on the main living wing folds inside to become part of the warm timber, stone and steel interior. Large glass sliding walls and the enclosed exterior lounge blur the lines between inside and out.

The two-storey wing is a retreat for the owners, and contains the main bedroom, ensuite and office. You’ll find lush oak finishes here, creating a warm and rustic atmosphere. The third wing is a special place for the three children of the family and opens up to a large outside play area. Hidden in the nearby media room is a secret roof loft for the kids.

The three intricately crafted wings and large pool area have been built and positioned to create separate outside living spaces for different weather conditions, seasons, views and, importantly, for a growing family.









Faulkner Construction have just completed a major project for us in Whitford. They were a great team to work with, both on site & in the office with excellent communication & teamwork. Every project has it’s challenges & components that need working out, the team were always interested in achieving the best results & used their combined knowledge & skills to achieve our vision.

We were very impressed with the level of detail and craftmanship achieved in the project and we look forward to working with Ross & his team again on future projects.

FRASER MCNAUGHT -  Native Architecture

"We contracted Faulkner Construction to build our new house in south-east Auckland. Ross and Adriaan were fantastic to deal with from the very start of the process when we were still having the house designed by the architect. The house build won a Registered Master Builder's House of the Year Gold Award which the team thoroughly deserved."
