The Brief – was to design a new 2 bedroom contemporary home on a beautiful site at Rocky Bay with views down to Wakanewha one side & Rocky Bay on the either side of the ridge that it sits on.  Budget $600,000.

The home is designed as two buildings connected with a bridge to suit the contours of the land. The winged roof forms reflect nature & allow for more natural light to enter the buildings & maximize views. Elegant gabion rock cage sculptural frames have been added to the main living building, to the north it acts as a screen from the neighbor’s who are rather close. The gaps in the rock reflects light like stars on the floor inside the home which the client fell in love with.

About the
Professional

Being the self proclaimed – 'The architect on Waiheke', Karl is focussing on marketing with real estate agents all the empty sections on Waiheke & to this end has produced a planning report & aerial & contour plan on all sections to assist purchasers in the process. (250 sections are available) Perhaps 'The section architect on Waiheke' would be more appropriate. Karl really gets a kick out of helping people create their vision whether it be on a small or grand scale.” I’m just as happy designing a house alteration as I am working on the larger projects as my portfolio demonstrates. I offer a free one-hour consultation to any client who needs an opinion on an architectural project that they have in mind.

It has allowed me to meet & work with some extraordinary clients & colleagues, some of whom end up being long-term friends. I have been lucky enough to have, worked throughout New Zealand, in the Pacific Islands (Rarotonga & Fiji), Europe (Spain) & Asia (China) while being based in this beautiful country New Zealand. Naturally over time a Pacific flare to my work has developed, heavily influenced by the places, cultures & people I have experienced. I have managed to combine the above with innovative technologies & the need for sustainable architecture to create some exceptional forms of architecture.
