About

My aim is to provide you with a personal service, listen to your requirements, and produce something that will add to your quality of life. The project must be affordable, enhancing the existing built and natural landscape it sits in. Its aesthetic is generated from your preferences and the existing context.

I hope to create something better than expected yet still within your budget!

It can start with project feasibility studies, and pre purchase design consultation, then move to preliminary sketch designs. These can be developed to include colour and joinery design, then resource consent and building consent plans, through to builder selection and project observation. I am happy to guide you step by step through the process, and all the while ensuring you’re comfortable with the pace. I believe in having integrity in all we do, and you’ll find our service straightforward, and honest.

Testimonials

“Lynda is our architect on the renovation and extension of our Auckland villa. She was recommended to us by our builder and, having worked with a number of architects in the past, has exceeded all of our expectations to date. She is extremely efficient, replying to every email and query in record time; takes all of our (many!) ideas on board, while also pushing back when necessary. Bringing her significant experience to the table she has produced a final design that beautifully tackles our challenging site, complements our existing house while also introducing a forward thinking modern new extension, and has done so within our budget.”

“And Lynda – your methodical and thorough Project Management (gifts not always found in the architectural fraternity!) blended with some quite brilliant creative design has produced a terrific outcome for us to enjoy.
We are thrilled with the end result.”

“It has been a week now since we have moved in and we are very pleased with the house. It is comfortable, warm and easy to live in. Still alot to do before we are fully settled in. The process of building a new house is not an easy one and full of surprises, but we are nearly there. Lynda thank you for a great design.”
Kerry & Tom B
“As I write the deck is bathed in sun and looks terrific. Your design fits in so well with the house, blending in, and the glass works giving a sense of extra space and view. I am very pleased with the overall concept and design, it’s different and contemporary. Thank you for your ideas and work which have helped add value and some extra living area to our home.”
