Thoughtfully designed small home in Governors Bay, maximizing space through efficient planning and a gable form, offering stunning views of Lyttelton Harbour for a family of three.

“A small home, well crafted out of nice materials.” This was the design brief for a home for a family of three on a beautiful site nestled into the Port Hills overlooking the picturesque Lyttelton Harbour in Governors Bay’s. 

Our challenge was to maximise the space within a small building envelope through efficient planning. The key to achieving this was the gable form which allowed us to make the most of all the space available within the void formed by the roof structure to provide all of the amenity required by the brief within a very compact building footprint

“I've been working with Jason since early 2014. Since then, the quality of his architectural photography has gone from strength to strength and I regularly publish his work in both Architecture New Zealand and Houses. Architectural photography can be highly challenging to shoot and it is a competitive field, so I'm really delighted to see Jason work so hard to achieve such a high standard, with total professionalism.”

Justine Harvey, former editor of Houses and ArchitectureNZ magazines
