Situated in the middle of a mandarin orchard, this spacious home strongly references its rural landscape, while incorporating the very best of modern design and spacial planning. Passive solar design incorporates and manages abundant sunlight, optimises views and provides protection from the prevailing winds. Designed with the dynamic needs of a family in mind, the home featured multiple living areas inside and out, and independent sleeping zones. Robust simple materials were used in a clean and organised manner to create spaces that are open, light and easy to live and grow in. Photography: Strike Photography

“For more than 15 years, the architect has made a contribution that goes well beyond a typical design engagement. Heritage preservation, the drafting of funding submissions and physical contributions to the internal preservation work were all part of a role that has resulted in an enhanced building preserved for future generations. This discreet structural upgrade retains the integrity of the original building. Carbon-fibre, inserted behind exceptional whakairo (carved wooden panels) helps bring the church up to code.”
