Aptly named for its field position, Deep Cover is a multi-use, cricket pavilion designed for shelter and for play. The brief called for an engaging building that playfully referenced the nationally iconic game and was informed by the idea of the ‘drinks break’. This humble timber structure designed to charm visitors with a hint of sporting sentiment serves as a space for the clients to share with friends and the local community, without encroaching on the privacy of their family home. With its kitchenette and wood burner, the building provides shade and warmth to enjoy the game throughout the seasons.
From urban spaces and workplaces, to private homes and holiday retreats, we believe good design should create an enriching experience that inspires individual and social well-being.
From our studios in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty we offer a comprehensive architectural service, extending from the macro level of master planning to the tactile experience of intimate interior spaces.
Each of our projects is an opportunity to bring together, people, capability and resource, in order to produce the highest outcome. Our design-led and pragmatic approach develops design responses that are thoughtful and beautiful yet grounded in a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technology.
Since Edwards White began in 2005 we have been designing with a deep respect of the environmental context. We believe that early integration of sustainability into conceptual thinking, leads to rich design outcomes that positively shape our environment and our culture. We’re also taking additional steps to improve the way our decisions and operations support a low carbon future, and are committed to the education and implementation of these practices.
