Featherston Nest
This project encompassed the internal reconfiguration of the living areas and renovation of the existing hallway, bedrooms and bathrooms. The addition of a large deck area was also incorporated and a tidy up of existing pathways and planter boxes were introduced to tie the house to the outside area. The clients brief was to achieve functional and attractive living areas that were wheel chair friendly without compromising on design. This was achieved with widening all openings to the living areas that could also be closed off and a large central kitchen island that easily accommodated a wheel chair or standing frame beside it.
By using light natural colours an open timeless airy feel was achieved. This project was entered in the 2017 Trends Kitchen Awards where it achieved Highly Commended in the Architect-designed Kitchen of the Year Section.

About the
Professional
It’s a long way from Denmark to New Zealand but Founding Director and Architect Mona Quinn of Callidus Architects has successfully made the leap bringing with her a love of heritage buildings and character homes. Having a Scandinavian heritage and a New Zealand can-do attitude provides a practical approach to design and construction. This love of older buildings and breathing new life into them has created a niche market for Callidus Architects who specialise in alterations and additions to heritage architecture projects. Bringing these buildings up to modern day living and retaining their character and street appeal for these owners is what Callidus Architects are experienced in and enjoy doing.
The team at Callidus Architects, can provide total project services from initial concepts through to construction drawings, administration of the job onsite, landscaping and interior design. We have the experience to create lovable, usable environments while ensuring the on-going use of character and heritage buildings.
