A CONTEMPORARY TAKE ON THE TRADITIONAL A-FRAME

Designed as a place for connection and escape

PROJECT TYPE: New Build
LOCATION: Algies Bay, Auckland
ARCHITECT: Chris Tate

Set in Algies Bay, this contemporary take on the traditional A-frame, designed by Chris Tate, reimagines the classic bach for modern family living. Strong geometric form, and carefully considered detailing combine to create a home that feels both refined and relaxed.

Designed as a place for connection and escape, the home embraces light, space, and simplicity while maintaining a warm and grounded character. The result is a thoughtfully crafted coastal retreat that responds beautifully to its environment and the lifestyle of the family who call it home.
