Introducing
11 Salmont Place
Auckland Architect Adrian McNaught has
ingeniously and innovatively designed Salmont
Place. 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.
Linked by a large light infused staircase this
three bedroom home together with a guest
suite, home theatre room and three luxurious
bathrooms is something exceptional.
A home office area, separate laundry, double
garaging with internal access, plus an additional
parking space all add to this complete package.
Essential decks for outdoor living and a
maintenance free garden make this an easy
lifestyle option.
The house offers contemporary and sophisticated
elegance - providing for comfortable and relaxed
family living as well as fabulous spaces for entertaining
- or the combination of the two at any one time.
Floor to ceiling double glazing throughout the house
maximises sun, light and expansive views of the city
and harbour.
The extensive open plan living areas on the top level
wrap themselves around the central stunning leather-
panelled kitchen.
Floor to ceiling doors let the outside flow in and
extend living to a choice of decks that have been built
to provide maximum sun, privacy and views.
The bedrooms on the lower levels provide quiet and
restful areas away from the open plan living areas.
The separate guest bedroom suite offers an additional
kitchen so visitors or family can be independent from
the main living area.
The home office is well positioned being beside the
main entrance, away from the bedrooms and living
areas.

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.

Born in Wellington and educated at St Patrick’s
College and Victoria University in Wellington Steve
entered real estate in August 1993, having come
from a background in property management. In
January 1996 Steve was appointed Sales Manager
for Challenge Realty’s Oriental Bay Office. Within
eighteen months Steve took the office into the top
ten in the Challenge Realty Group. Steve went on
to purchase three Wellington offices in October
1997.
Over the next seven years Steve was instrumental
in growing the company from a sales team of
twelve to a team of sixty eight sales people with
four thousand house sales worth over 1.5 billion
dollars!
Shortly after Steve sold the business he was
approached by Ray White Australia and asked to
restructure their international business model so
as to increase their competitiveness with RE/MAX.
At the time over three hundred sales people, in
Queensland alone, had left Ray White to join RE/
MAX. In the next few years Steve played a huge
part in turning around the fortunes of Ray White
and increasing the number of sales people by over
40%.
Steve returned to New Zealand in November 2005
and took up the role of Director of Operations
for RE/MAX New Zealand. The role was to assist
broker owners and top sales people at new and
established RE/MAX offices to implement their
business plans and maintain the momentum of
the fastest growing real estate company - the
RE/MAX brand, in New Zealand and Australia.
In 2006 Steve attended a wide range of leading
international industry training seminars in Denver,
Chicago and Brisbane.
After more than four hundred flights during his
three years in his corporate career Steve decided
to resign and return to what he loves doing most
- selling real estate in Wellington.
Steve’s extensive experience in real estate
spanning local, national and international markets
is a huge benefit to his clients. This and his
innovative and unique marketing techniques is

Testimonial
Gary Ahearn, Regional Director of RE/MAX
Australasia says, “Steve brings together a vast
experience and understanding of all facets of
real estate. Having been very successful in sales
in the mid 1990’s Steve really made his mark on
real estate by establishing a very credible and
strong company under the L.J.Hooker brand.
The standards he set are still the standards some
offices are striving to attain. However it is Steve’s
ability to relate to all people in the community
which is his outstanding strength.”
