In Progress

We’re delighted to be embarking on another collaboration with Jon McAlpine Architecture and Thorne Group Builders on this beautifully crafted, American-inspired family home. Trinity was engaged from the project’s inception, providing detailed plan reviews and exterior concept input as part of the initial design stage.

Now progressing into concept development, material selection, and detailed design, our clients are deeply involved in the creative process and eager to explore new ideas. This spirit of collaboration ensures thoughtful, timely decisions and seamless communication across the wider project team.

We look forward to sharing the evolution of this special home as the design journey continues. Completion March 2027.

This will be our second large renovation project we have undertaken for our client. From an inner city penthouse apartment to an iconic beachfront home in need of a significant update, we are excited with overseeing this transformation. This project includes a minor extension to the main kitchen and living area with the inclusion of a new pool and spa to the front, while the inside will be completely overhauled to a high standard.

A private driveway leads to a large waterfront site that was once an abundant orchard. This substantial one level home, comprising of cleverly connected pavilions has been designed for extended family living, entertaining and sitting back watching the ever changing flow of the tide past the pool and the expansive lawn beyond. Due for completion early 2026.

This large renovation project will create a stunning one level family home situated on a large flat site in short walking distance to the beach. After living in the existing house for several years our clients have a clear vision of what was needed and how they wanted to live to accommodate their teenage children. The Nick Rowe design ticks all of their boxes both visually and functionally. Our clients want to ensure they are making the right decisions as they move through this process both with the interior design and selection of finishes through to furnishing.

Situated in a prime location, this two level, beachfront property has been designed to reflect our clients fun and vibrant personalities, alongside their passion for travel and love of entertaining. An exterior of natural stone and cedar cladding wraps around a Mediterranean inspired central pool courtyard. With an aligning aesthetic, the interior is to include some glamour and wow moments, with layered, textured and rich in colour furnishings.

Working with Julian Guthrie on a home he designed 20 years ago, we are looking to re imagine this large beachfront house, tweaking the floorplan slightly and overhauling the interior throughout. This house has catered for our clients’ immediate family and will now cater for the next generation coming through. Although the architectural design of the house has stood the test of time, the new interior will create a very different look and feel for our clients. Completion due end of 2026.

This is a beautiful contemporary home with a nod to Japanese influence, and cleverly designed to welcome an abundance of light that filters through to every room. Sitting perched on the cliff looking across Hobson Bay and out to Rangitoto beyond, the views are breath taking.

Stripped back to framing, this is a substantial renovation and extension of a modest villa to recreate a beautifully finished three level family home with expansive pool and outdoor entertaining areas added. Completion including full furniture specification.

This stunning Northern Slopes villa is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation. The redesign includes the addition of a bespoke wine cellar and a full secondary entertainer’s kitchen, complete with extra seating that flows seamlessly to a new pool area. Outdoors, a stone clad fireplace anchors spaces for both relaxed lounging and alfresco dining.

Upstairs, the master suite has been extended into an adjoining room to create a luxurious custom dressing area and a beautifully appointed ensuite. Every element of this project has been thoughtfully designed, featuring meticulous detailing and a highly tailored finish throughout.

We are once again collaborating with Ze Build to deliver a refined extension and considered redesign of an existing single-level residence on a picturesque lifestyle block. The design thoughtfully enhances the home’s connection to its setting, creating spaces that balance contemporary living with relaxed rural charm.
Beyond the architecture, the project includes a comprehensive landscaping plan featuring a pool and a croquet pitch — designed for effortless entertaining and summer enjoyment.

Our clients bring a vibrant sense of individuality to the project, and this has inspired a highly personalised design outcome that celebrates both their lifestyle and the site’s unique character. Completion June 2026.

Our client’s brief to the architect was for a grand family residence and from the moment you arrive through the long tree lined driveway, and enter the expansive lobby, the sweeping curved staircase will set the scene for what lays beyond. A home that has been designed for true family living where childhood memories will be made, and where the door will always be open for extended family and visitors alike. We are privileged to have this opportunity to create this generational home.

We are privileged to be working with new clients who came to us through a referral from the owners of the Takapuna House, completed last year. This 1,200sqm family residence, set across three levels, is designed to take full advantage of the sweeping views over the Hauraki Gulf.

The home is thoughtfully arranged around a sheltered central courtyard, where the pool forms the heart of family life and entertaining. Every aspect of the design is guided by the outlook — a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, expressed through refined detailing and natural materiality.

The clients have provided a clear and confident brief, entrusting us with full creative direction to curate the finishes, furnishings, and final design decisions throughout. The result will embody understated elegance, crafted for both beauty and ease of living. Completion December 2026.
