Mid-Century Mangawhai

Perched right on the Mangawhai Harbour waterfront, this home is designed to capture both the coastal setting and a timeless sense of style. White-painted corbelled brick sits alongside vertical cedar shiplap cladding, giving the exterior a clean yet natural finish. A private, secluded deck extends directly from the living spaces, flowing out to a stunning blue pool and hot tub. With direct access to the harbour, the outdoor areas invite both relaxation and connection with…

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.
