A little way back this Grey Lynn project was one of numerous terrace home schemes I was involved in for a prolific developer. In this case helping marketing and development/project management.
In a narrow deep terrace- where basically a garage +front door access determine the width module, light comes at a premium for the internal units.
In this project the living was put on the top level with clerestory windows along a vertical upstand wall (creating a sawtooth roof pattern) running the entire depth.
The result: Luminous luxury!
