Tucked away on the border of Windsor Park in Hastings, the first substation of its kind in New Zealand is working hard to help power a sustainable future. The Windsor Substation is the beginning of what it could mean for the future of electricity.

Windsor Substation was a key opportunity for us to see what we could do differently. We explored a number of sustainability options, to generate our own power, to have sustainability around the water that we use and the materials that we use.

Whilst I admit I have a significant bias I do think this is the most beautiful substation I have seen in NZ. Let’s hope it’s the start of a new trend. Thanks so much to all of team for making this into a reality. A special thank you to Charissa for her vision.

The outcome of this project has far surpassed my expectations. It is both a place of beauty and practicality.

Every mm has been thought about, in every blink of the eyelash that has been made, careful consideration has been made as to how one detail meets and greets another. This is Charissa’s attention to the finest of details that means it all makes sense and every space links together harmoniously. I was involved in every material/colour, paint, tile, vanity, bathroom tap along the way to be sure I was aware of the evolving project.

I feel very blessed to have this wonderful house and to have had this journey of a lifetime with Charissa.

Much gratitude.
Thank you.

If you are considering having a home designed by CSA get ready for something special to happen. Fight for her, or wait for her if she is too busy, or beg her not to go on holiday, or move overseas. Fight to get her because you will never be the same again and you will live happily ever after in your new home.
