About
Sarsfield House, situated along Herne Bay's waterfront, was renovated by Patterson Associates, the eponymous firm of renowned New Zealand architect Andrew Patterson. Blending modern architecture with elegance, the home features Indus Patagonia engineered timber flooring alongside bold concrete accents, highlighting refined interiors and expansive windows framing waterfront views.
Externally, Sarsfield House continues to showcase its design philosophy with bold architectural features like fluted concrete accents and expansive glass facades. These elements not only enhance the home's aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its structural integrity and seamless connection with its surroundings.
Inside Sarsfield House, a harmonious fusion of sophistication and comfort beautifully exemplifies Andrew's esteemed legacy in New Zealand architecture. The interiors are enriched with signature touches, such as curved walls and strategically positioned skylights, which imbue each space with an atmosphere of refined elegance and abundant natural light.
The large, modern windows throughout the residence allow natural light to flood the interiors, casting warm, intricate shadows that dance across the walls and floors. From sunrise to sunset, these panoramic views frame the beauty of Herne Bay's waterfront, seamlessly merging indoor elegance with the natural landscape.
The spiral staircase at the heart of the residence is a central feature: a modern, curved design finished with Forte's Indus Patagonia engineered timber floor. This architectural centerpiece combines sleek, contemporary lines with the inviting warmth of timber, defining the overall look of the home.
The wide-planked cool, Indus Patagonia timber flooring, with its delicate grey wash, adds a touch of understated luxury, harmonising perfectly with Andrew's thoughtful interior design choices. Ascending the staircase offers an immersive experience, unveiling the sweeping vistas of Waitemata Harbour and Chelsea Sugar Works in the distance.
