Minden Garage — Arkhē Architecture
Minden Garage
Minden, Tauranga
In design — construction to start in 2026.
Minden Garage The form is familiar: a simple extrusion with a monopitch roof, trapezoidal Zincalume cladding, and manually operated screens to temper light and privacy to the mezzanine. A continuation of the architectural language already present on the site.
Two variations were developed. One leans toward a more industrial expression, using perforated sliding metal screens and a darker, more recessive palette. The other introduces a layer of timber warmth, recalling the main dwelling, with bi-folding shutters and a flush front to conceal the garage door.
Same framework; two different readings of material character.
