Townhouses 00 - Adesanya Close

The first of Te Kāhui Whaihanga NZ Institute of Architects Local Awards announcements have been revealed, and it's an honour that Adesanya Close has been shortlisted for the Western award.

We've alternated the units with black brick and white brick, like a checkerboard pattern for this little village. This is to provide identity along with the front doors having an individual colour. We initially thought of a rainbow palette, to finally choose a more subtle selection but harmonically contrasting the checkerboard pattern.

Oh…the floating box … a bit of shelter over the entrance and garage door, as well as adding drama to the scenography. The classic thought ‘this will give the engineers a headache’; they liked the challenge and made it look like there was no problem at all.

About the
Professional

An Auckland based architectural office focusing on providing leadership in planning, architecture, urban design and interior design. With over 30 years award-winning experience designing residential, church, school and commercial projects. 

NZ architects you can trust

We believe in a ‘total design’ architectural philosophy, which means design disciplines permeate every aspect of the business, including the way we operate. This approach ensures building design outputs are based on facts and reality, not assumptions and guesses. Every output is checked against the original brief, however, there’s always flexibility to accommodate new requirements along the way.

Our attention to detail ensures every stage of each project is successful. You can trust us to streamline the journey to project realization by producing accurate and technically complex consent and tendering drawings, efficiently monitoring adherence to plans during construction and ensuring your architectural budget goes the distance.

An architecture firm built around your wants and needs

Established in 1983, Houston Architects is deliberately small and cohesive team of Auckland architects with extensive building design experience and expertise. We work predominately on residential, commercial, education and church buildings in the Auckland region, however our track record includes projects in Wellington, Tauranga and other areas of New Zealand.

Our number one purpose is to create exceptional client satisfaction. To achieve this we concentrate our attention on just a few projects at a time, maintain close client relationships and ensure every step is driven by your wants and needs.
