Designed by Ivan Juriss of the celebrated Group Architects, Mann House is a rare and finely resolved example of New Zealand mid-century modernism. Completed in 1960, the home is an eloquent study in form, function and restraint, qualities that have been carefully respected through a sensitive modernisation over time.
Held in considered guardianship for more than two decades, the house is now offered to a new custodian.
Set quietly behind a small front orchard, the approach provides a gentle transition from street to sanctuary. Inside, the architecture reveals itself through a disciplined material palette: iconic concrete block walls are softened by native and hardwood timbers, creating spaces that feel both serene and deeply liveable.
The ground floor is organised for everyday living, with an updated kitchen designed to meet contemporary needs while remaining true to the home’s original intent. This flows seamlessly into the main living area and out to both front and rear gardens. Two bedrooms on this level are served by a full bathroom.
Upstairs, the master suite occupies a secluded, treehouse-like position. Complete with ensuite and study, it is immersed in greenery and enjoys elevated views across Auckland City.
To the rear, the house opens to a private landscaped garden. A covered pergola forms the heart of this outdoor space, offering a sheltered setting for entertaining, outdoor cooking or quiet retreat.
Tucked behind a stand of cabbage trees sits a fully independent guest house. Architecturally sympathetic to the main dwelling, it features cedar cladding, polished concrete floors and plywood walls, and includes a kitchenette, living space, study, bedroom and bathroom. The pavilion offers flexibility for guests, intergenerational living, working from home or potential income, while maintaining privacy from the main house.
Mann House represents a rare opportunity to engage with a historically significant New Zealand home, one that continues to demonstrate the enduring relevance of mid-century modern design.
