A Productivity Powerhouse in Hillcrest

In 2016, VIKON served as the project manager for a new residential build in Hillcrest on the North Shore. The lot itself is nestled atop an incline with views overlooking the Wairau shopping district. With its two-storey prominence and ideal location, the home is perfect for watching the setting sun fall over Wairau Valley.

More than offering just a mesmerising sight, the home itself boasts a robust suite of rooms and amenities, geared towards a comprehensive productivity solution. This comes in the form of two studies and an office – not to mention the four bedrooms which could easily serve as either. An ideal layout for work-from-home roles, this residence is primed for productivity and home businesses.

On the ground floor, the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas seamlessly flow into each other in an open floor plan. The garage lies in a centralised location with room for two vehicles and featuring easy access to the rooms on either side of the home. The first-floor features another living space, perfectly catered towards TV-viewing. Elsewhere, the fourth (and master) bedroom features a full ensuite and an incredible compliment of free space.

Structurally, the building is made with quality, lasting materials designed for thriving against New Zealand’s elements. For example, Allco’s Volclay Swelltite is used as a structural waterproofing system. The cladding uses a combination of bevel-back weatherboard alongside Monier (now PGH) bricks, achieving a fusion of modern and traditional styles while offering advanced levels of durability.

The roofing uses GAF’s Asphalt shingles and is complemented by Colorsteel’s gutter, spouting system, and metal fascia. Inside, the ceiling and wall lining feature a variety of GIB boards, ensuring perfectly location-appropriate thermal, acoustic, and moisture performance.

Taking in all that it has to offer, this home is the complete package: providing a wealth of bedrooms, recreational spaces, and work rooms – on top of stunning views of the North Shore, and VIKON are proud to have overseen the completion of such a versatile residence.
