Feel the Burnley

This project sought to alter an existing 1910 villa, while honouring the heritage and environment of its suburban location. Clad in a modern refined cloak, derived from the ‘white picket fence’ the home transitions from old to new seamlessly, yet still surprisingly, as the living area opens onto spacious and modern decking. Terraced stairs lead down to a lower-level pool and north facing backyard, where the view back toward the house evokes a grander feeling of a social and lively house, in comparison to the quaint character of the front of the home. A key aspect of the brief was to create interdependent spaces across the levels that were united by functional entertainment areas and a confident aesthetic.

About the
Professional

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.
