Environmental Design

We believe architecture should create healthy, comfortable living spaces that adapt to the climate and changing seasons. Our approach prioritises sustainability and energy efficiency, integrating passive solar design to harness natural light, warmth, cooling, and ventilation. We also design versatile outdoor areas that complement the building, offering spaces suited to different times of day and year for a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Quality Design

We recognise the deep connection between people’s needs and values in residential architecture. Our designs are tailored to meet individual requirements while reflecting personal ideals. We focus on innovative and smart design solutions that are both cost-effective and functional, ensuring that practicality and beauty are seamlessly integrated in every project. As a leading architectural practice based in Whangarei, we are dedicated to delivering quality design that enhances your living experience and fulfils your vision.

Site Specific Design

Our site-specific design approach begins with a comprehensive site analysis to uncover the unique opportunities each location presents. We meticulously evaluate factors such as sun exposure, wind patterns, views, privacy, and topography to maximize the potential of every site. Our architectural concepts are deeply rooted in this relationship with the environment, creating residential designs that enhance the connection between people, their homes, and the surrounding landscape.
