Inside a Private Island House With a Modern Interior Design (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
Blending into the black of the bush, Mahuika is a private island house that embraces the external environment. Faced with a challenging site, Daniel Marshall Architects (DMA) uses the unique building context to infuse Mahuika with a sense of legend and soul, crafting a secluded home with a fiery past.
A private island house, Mahuika is located on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand. After a shocking incident that saw the project burnt just weeks before it was initially due to be completed, DMA named the home after the Māori Goddess of Fire. The timber-framed structure is designed so that the living room occupies the architectural cantilever, shading the pool below whilst bedrooms spread across different levels of the home.
In both surrounding context and brief, Mahuika presented DMA with obstacles to overcome. The changeable nature of the Auckland climate meant that the interior design and architecture of the private island house had to complement flitting natural light and striking external scenes. In addition, the design of the house had to be conducive to minimal visits to the shops during the week.
DMA convincingly responds to the difficulties proposed by the project, finding beauty within innovative solutions. The practice embraces the environment as part of the reality of living in a private island house, applying floor-to-ceiling glazing to the architecture of Mahuika in promotion of an authentic lifestyle. In the kitchen, a generous whole foods storage system meets the requirements of the home whilst the sleek surface of Fisher & Paykel appliances reflects the view of the bush and sea.
In Mahuika, the Auckland climate has the ideal subject. DMA designs the private island house to gracefully accept the ever-changing natural elements and vistas, welcoming them as defining features and reflecting them back out as parts of itself.

I work professionally in lighting. It's an incredibly important architectural element, and I want to encourage people that make videos like this to show the house after dark, inside and out.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy you a well-designed home in a spectacular location.
I love that the architect’s explanation was, while still an artist’s vision, very direct and touched on all the spaces of the building (with panoptic video to accompany it). Sometimes they’re too ethereal and the filming focuses too much on details so you can’t get an idea of the building as a whole.
The only channel on youtube, that genuinely showcases art and architecture, without big bold price tags!

Whenever I see houses that look like this I think California, but Australia and New Zealand are just as beautiful and now I want to visit.

I live in Southern California. The only thing is, its almost impossible to get this amount of privacy and land between parcels, even in multi million dollar homes. Homes are so so close here.

Beautiful architecture and what a mind blowing location! This home is simply breathtaking. This is my favorite channel on the Tube. I look forward to the homes you all showcase every week. Cheers!
Marvelous construction. The view is breathtaking both toward the ocean with its changing shades and the forest in the background with all sorts of plants. Simply a dream house.
Wow. Absolutely stunning place. The contrast of nature with manicured modernism is a stroke of genius
It's such a beautiful design.Since the landscape which has very lush colorful vegetation and dramatic storms which roll through, is so captivating, it makes sense to utilize a minimalist design for the interior so it doesn't compete with nature. The outdoor barbecue is quite nice. The use of natural woods in the staircase is lovely. The home is dramatically lit at night which is beautiful.
Another incredible home well captured by The local Project. Every home has a story to tell and TLP does it better than anyone! Well done and that view from the living room would make me never want to leave.

Stunning architecture and results achieved. I'm sure the build in such a remote location would've been incredibly tricky so well done to all involved!
Love it! This is the perfect environment for a home like this. Elevated on the waters edge with huge distance from neighbours. I'd be ok with a tiny house on the property, but this home is next level. A real dream house in my eyes.
Outstanding location and design. The communion with nature is remarkable, the mindfulness in terms of the use of natural light, the benefits of the view... the whole project us to die for. Congrats to everyone involved in its realization. I wish I could move in!
Wow! Just a breathtaking home! Need some fresh air! So amazed & inspired by this simple yet amazing home! Absolutely stunning! Thanks Local Project! 😎🏞💖
This is such a beautiful and that dramatic background makes the place very special.
Heart-stoppingly beautiful location. Beautiful cantilevered living room.
great week team
I love how articulate this guy is.
One of the most beautiful houses on this channel

Congratulations absolutely spectacular and it must’ve been an absolute mission to build and credit to the contractor and to the design team this is something everybody should be very proud of an absolute privilege for the owner to enjoy
Breathtakingly conscious design 🌿
This is Beautiful!
Beautiful location and home!
What a house and location! 👏💯
Wow, amazing place...but that location 👏 The design so beautifully allows you to enjoy the nature.
Amazingly Stunning! 👏🏾🥰
Impressive they could build that kind of house twice at the site , especially with all that glass transported on what looks like a bad road.
Congratulations, it is amazing!💓

This is both a graceful construction and an insightful video. Hearing the story of the history, challenges, and passion of the house instead of just the poetic visions concerning the impression one gains from interaction made for a really watchable video. Most of the other videos on this channel lack that storytelling, and feel less human, but this strikes a lovely balance. And, as some others have mentioned, the lighting shown in the nighttime shots really flesh out the space in less commonly seen conditions. The time-lapse footage of the storm rolling past also helped anchor this building to the site as well. Abstraction combined with practicality is a win.
That view ...
Y’all shld really branch out into NZ the architecture is soo amazing there and has the most amazing properties
manifesting.
Soon, I will have a home similar to this
Beautiful house and location, i prefer my swimming pool to be in the sun, away from the house so it stays warm all day long, or else one would need to have a heated pool.
Wow
A perfect house for a bond villain.
We need an in-depth tour of this house.
Is it bad that the first thing I think of is this being the perfect set for a thriller where some tech billionaire lures in victims to this beautiful, isolated mansion? …Too much Netflix. What an incredible home
i wish some numbers would be disclosed every now and again. Whether its total cost, or original budget or current value. At least something more than pretty pictures....so we know how much money we need to borrow :)
👍
Hey, I have a lot on Caribbean . I am interested in house , I would like know more details
Great project, loved this! Did anyone hear that planner 5d can make a free interior project for you? Is this legit? Found the vid on their YT channel.
I love every single building you guys show us. And maybe the price of the buildings is not important, but anyway, could you maybe write the approximately cost in the info box? Thanks!

The whole house went down during a fire? Was it rebuilt after that? Are we looking at a house that does nor exist any more?

Not the whole house, but at least half of it. This incident happened when it was a few weeks from completion. The entire thing was restored later, and then completed. We are looking at the final (rebuilt and finished) version of the house.
The house does a great job framing those views! both bay views and nature views. And the pool location and cantilever living room were a great architectural solution for that site. I am not a big fan of that kitchen, though - a bit too basic/generic but that's my taste.

Hi! How are you? Korea/Seoul has been showing early summer weather since yesterday. And a new week has begun again. I hope you have a week of health and good things together. And please show your interest and love for SEASON 2, which will start anew this Friday, the 15th. Let me know if you have a better idea. Thank you very much.

listing price?
How much does something like this even cost?!?
Four seasons in one day and massive glass panes into the wilderness. The perfect location for a horror movie! But stunningly beautiful nevertheless.

Its a perfect home for a murder mystery movie.
so this house just bend good that this did not happen while people were inside it.
Love this home! Next time, would you please add more long shots of the house interior? This video seemed heavy on the nature shots and the architect talking.
This is the perfect billionaires home : O
