Project Gallery
One of the highlights of this project is the new deck, sliders, and deck roof that bring the living spaces into the beautiful environment outside.
A picture window was added into the kitchen space to bring the lovely green native bush and light into the south side kitchen.



The clients wanted the living space to follow to the deck, which engaged with their lovely bush aspect. A wide gallery hallway was requested to provide a generous welcome to the home, and a backdrop for artwork to be displayed.
The meandering path leads to the home, which nestled amongst the native bush was intended to blend in with the environment.

Lynda Slaney Architects. Lynda Slaney Architects (LSA) is an NZIA registered architecture practice and a Design 3 Licensed Building Practitioner with more than 23 years experience across a range of both residential and small commercial projects, including new and renovation design.
Connecting with people and providing great but practical design solutions to their spaces is the driver in my work. 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.
