Perched above Te Puna Inlet on the historic Wiroa Station, this 340m² residence commands one of the Bay of Islands’ most remarkable coastal positions. The Arcline Team worked closely with both our client and Aleysha Pangari on the interior design, whilst builder Mike Thompson bought the plans to life.The design is arranged as three connected pods, with the roofline punctuated by twelve dormer windows — a defining feature that gives the home its distinctive rhythm…

Riverhead Residence

We really shouldn’t be letting you in on the Riverhead Residence secret just yet, but it’s just too exciting not to share! For the last few years this large family home has been in the making. 606m2 of architecture, with each wall, room, and item carefully placed within the design. Trinity Interior Design were a key element in this project. We worked alongside them on the design of the home, selection of materials and ensuring…

Arcline Architecture have kept me informed on all points relating to the proposed new build. They are absolute professionals in their field, and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality architectural design.

I felt really safe dealing with Arcline. The team took the time to sit down in person, get to know me and what I needed from a design and then came to the site to see how it would work. I'm really happy with the plans and can't wait to see it built!

Arcline are good to work with and any changes required in the design stage are done fast and efficiently. They have good understanding of the space required and also puts good ideas forward.

I have been working with Alan and his team from Arcline for the past couple of years. From the original design to taking the whole process through council has been seamless and pain free. I would highly recommend them.

We found that dealing with Arcline Architecture was a hassle free experience. I highly recommend that anyone needing plans drawn up for their new home should definitely get the team from Arcline on board. So easy to deal with and great communication from all of the staff that we dealt with. Thank you Arcline Architecture.

We cannot rate Arcline highly enough and we have had total confidence in all they have done for us over many years. They are extremely helpful, friendly and professional and make the process so easy with full support and advice. We would never use anyone else and look forward to continuing working with them with any new project we do in the future.

Our stunning home designed by Arcline is everything we dreamed about. The sense of space along with the colour and tone contrasts of the cedar and stone make our place both warm and elegant. We are so pleased with the design and the build by Newson Construction was carefully executed. What a wonderful team we had. Thanks to everyone involved.

Alan and the Arcline team developed a house design for a sloping section that had a few challenges. These were overcome and council recently approved the build and resource consents in a timely manner. I'd highly recommend utilising Arcline for any build project especially where there may be build difficulties and the client is based overseas.
