House of Zen was designed and constructed according to the simple, sturdy style of a Shogunate house built in Kyoto during the Japanese Muromachi period (1336 - 1573 AD). The open, high ceiling architecture creates a spacious and free environment; solid timbers and featured granite provide a clean natural feel; continuous glass sliding doors with cedar and rimu frames seamlessly connect the interior with the surrounding landscapes. This stunning borderless design makes the most of one of Auckland’s best elevated panoramic vistas.
