The Details
Since forming his own practice in 2002 – first with Brian Windeatt, and more recently on his own – Auckland-based McKinney has worked across an intriguing mix of commercial, hospitality and residential projects.
McKinney’s work is marked by a dedication to rich materials, dynamic spaces and a constantly evolving design language. In his own house in Kingsland, he subverted the classic villa profile to create pyramid forms, pulling light into the living areas. For ‘Diagrid’ house, he designed a floating concrete roof with rough-cast beams.
At Amano – the celebrated downtown eatery – he peeled back layers to expose the bones of a century-old warehouse that contrasts with luxe touches including a terrazzo floor.
McKinney is known for his gentle approach and dry sense of humour – that’s possibly why he has several long-standing clients, including Cameron Ireland and Rachael Newnham, who built and live in ‘Diagrid’.
