This brand new contemporary property is built to exacting standards, which embrace a spectacular section, maximising quality daily living while providing the ultimate city or family lifestyle. This three level executive residence comprises extensive living areas that embrace the surrounding environment. The top-level living capitalises on the expansive view from a stunning gourmet kitchen that is enviable.

The Architect McNaught Architecture is a small practice with a studio in the old Auckland Fire Station Tower, but also working out of Raetihi on the plateau and Whititoa on the Coromandel and with projects as far afield as Nelson to Niue - but with a soft spot for work in Wellington. Each project is treated as an individual opportunity and challenge. Materials, forms, flow and light are a result of responses to site, each adding up to a unique building to be enjoyed as both an emotional and financial investment. Salmont Place The house at Salmont Place has been conceived to enjoy panoramic views of the city and harbour, while creating special places within, of both extrovert and introvert nature. To the south and west sides, the house is clad in a protective skin of zinc, with distinctive vertical seams. In contrast to the north and east faces open to the views, with decks for those balmy Wellington days. Each room has been considered individually in terms of size, orientation and opportunities for furniture and art, from the entry level study to the ‘secret’ theatre, and the light filled sculptural stair.
