8 Kirkmay Place, Saint Heliers, Auckland City

位於安靜巷弄盡頭的私密高地，Tapper House（1957年）是由Vladimir Cacala設計的新西蘭現代主義地標性建築，罕見地將國際現代主義與鮮明的本地感性融合。其誇張的矩形形態似乎漂浮在基地之上，前方配有全高滑動窗戶和清晰的格子結構 - 時間流逝，依然展現出永恆的優雅和顯著的當代感。室內，一堵引人注目的雙層高石牆定義了空間布局，巧妙地安排光線、動線和空間分隔，橫跨五間臥室的分層佈局。舌槽板牆面、老樹成材的木地板和海草牆面覆蓋物，豐富了這個寧靜、類似畫廊的氛圍。

忠於其時代特色，廚房保留了歡樂的中世紀風格——藍、黃、白的飾面、不銹鋼工作台和牆壁安裝的水龍頭，與寬敞的玻璃窗和無縫的室內外連接相結合。佔地1,384平方米（或略少），基本保持原貌的庭院，這個家邀請您欣賞其純粹之美，或在尊重Cacala原意的同時，加入細膩的當代元素。這個建築經常出現在建築導覽、攝影拍攝和商業作品中，是新西蘭設計遺產中的慶典之作，位於珍貴的海灣環境中。

幾分鐘即可到達Madills Farm、St Heliers和Kohimarama海灘、村莊咖啡館和沿海步道，並且位於St Heliers School和Glendowie College學區內，這裡完美融合了現代主義、生活方式與土地。

St Heliers Mid-Century Masterpiece: Tapper House

Privately elevated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the Tapper House (1957) is a rare New Zealand modernist landmark by Vladimir Cacala. A residence where international modernism meets a distinctly local sensibility. Its exaggerated rectilinear form appears to float above the site, fronted by full-height sliding windows with crisp grid joinery - timeless, elegant and remarkably current decades on. Inside, a dramatic double-height stone wall anchors the plan and choreographs light, flow and separation across the split-level 5-bedroom layout. Tongue-and-groove panelling, old-growth timber floors and seagrass wall coverings enrich the calm, gallery-like atmosphere.

True to its era, the kitchen retains joyful mid-century character-blue, yellow and white finishes, stainless benching and wall-mounted tapware-paired with generous glazing and effortless indoor-outdoor connection. Set on 1,384sqm (more or less) of largely unchanged grounds, the home invites you to simply enjoy its purity or introduce thoughtful contemporary touches while respecting Cacala's intent. Frequently featured in architecture tours, photo shoots and commercial work, it stands as a celebrated piece of New Zealand design heritage in a prized bays setting.

Minutes to Madills Farm, St Heliers and Kohimarama beaches, village cafes and coastal walks, and in zone for St Heliers School and Glendowie College, this is modernism, lifestyle and land-beautifully resolved.
