Clay Block House by Daniel Marshall Architects

This stunning new build on a 836sqm freehold site is designed for modern comfort, effortless living, and understated luxury. Named as a finalist in the 2026 Home of the Year Awards, in both the Green and City categories, this is a home that delivers premium lifestyle living at every turn — from the heated saltwater pool to the rooftop terrace with panoramic views to Rangitoto.

Inside, crisp lines and a refined material palette create a serene, light-filled sanctuary. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly outdoors to sun-drenched al fresco lounges and the swimming pool, surrounded by lush, low-maintenance landscaping.

Full-height glazing, European joinery, and Forte timber flooring elevate the interiors, while hydronic in-slab heating and cooling ensures year-round comfort. The kitchen, a masterpiece of design and functionality, features Miele appliances, a full scullery, sleek black surfaces, and elegant cabinetry — perfect for both everyday living and  entertaining.

Four bedrooms include a luxurious upstairs primary suite, thoughtfully positioned for privacy, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing sweeping coastal views and a designer ensuite. All bedrooms are finished with plush Salle wool carpet and soft, neutral tones, complemented by a generous family bathroom and powder room for convenience.

Every detail has been considered: double internal garaging, additional off-street parking, and an elevated rooftop terrace ideal for long summer evenings or quiet morning coffees overlooking the harbour.

A rare opportunity to move straight into a home executed to perfection, with no expense spared, in a premium location just a short stroll from the beach and within easy reach of the culinary delights of Mission Bay and St Heliers.
