“A Shed in the bush……the starting context for this development”
A hidden sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, nestled down into the bush clearing, provides a perfect platform for the simplicity of life.
With the thought of the old barn lean-too type aesthetic, an extended “lean-too” was adopted to be our shelter in the bush.
A black Colorsteel shell encompasses the rich cedar recesses, creating warmth against the black outer skin
Within the bush environment, a compact design was used to position all living spaces and bedrooms with direct access to the exterior and the bush beyond, an area for 3 young boys to roam and create mischief.

NJA strives for the highest standards of client service, design and documentation. At the completion of each project the aim is to have achieved a building that is beyond the client's expectations. Our commitment to providing superior service to our clients has been recognized with a nomination for a Business Excellence Award by the Waikato Chamber of Commerce.
Each project is analyzed for its special requirements and opportunities: the end result being not a preconceived idea but a combination of the client's requirements and desires, the site and the budget. Critical consideration is given to the project's specific environmental and historical location, and to the appropriate materials and construction methods of the locality.
NJA believes good design will produce sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces and buildings that have an enduring quality over time.
