Waka Huia is a glorious, unapologetic celebration of life — a bombastic floral bouquet of colour, character, and bold personal taste, honouring the client and, in spirit, his late wife. This is a passion project in the truest sense, making joyful statements to the street, the neighbourhood, and its inhabitants alike. Every part of the home reflects confidence and personality, from the vibrant materials to the dramatic belvedere lifted into place by helicopter. Rich in detail and full of life, the project embraces architecture as something emotional, expressive, and deeply connected to the people who live within it.
