Hamner House
The clients and I wanted a clean modern environment with the charm of a good old kiwi Bach. Driven by this idea we collected a palette of natural materials including poplar plywood, recycled Rimu flooring, sisal carpeting and solid-oak, and set it against a neutral backdrop of warm greys to allow the materials to sing and the art work pop.
The secret master bedroom suite is accessed via the living room behind a discrete door cut into the wall behind the log burner, providing a sense of romantic seclusion from the bustling activities of family life.
Internal glazing to the exposed central truss of the living room, along with a complementary framed glazed cavity slider, permits acoustic separation between T.V. room and living areas, vital for a gathering of rugby viewing blokes and G’n’T sipping partners.
Slider-over-cladding joinery configurations offer generous oversize openings from each living space enabling an easy connection to the environment. Open planning gives an informal drift between all spaces so dwellers can follow or hide from the sun depending on the forecast.

Professional
Ben Brady heads Linetype Architectural, an enthusiastic architectural studio based in Redcliffs, Christchurch. The practice specialises in bespoke residential new homes and alterations.
‘We enjoy matching the passion our clients have for their projects,’ he compares his love of domestic architecture with experience of commercial industry.
‘And, when it comes to the finished project we are always just as excited as our clients to experience the building in real life. It’s a joy for us to see the result of everyone’s hard work as well as experiencing the spaces we’ve envisioned and seeing the play of light across forms.’
The small team at Linetype Architectural use a careful eye for detail and proportion, paired with practical ‘buildability,’ to deliver exciting architecture that clients love and builders take pride in.
Following graduation, Ben enjoyed a good grounding working under highly respected New Zealand architect, Cymon Allfrey, where he was a key team member of three award winning projects.
A background in Fine Arts, working on commission to produce paintings and sculptures, and earlier years spent as a sheetmetal worker, serves Brady well in delivering creative design responses tempered with the down-to-earth practicality a building contractor can relate to.
Recent completions of two beautiful homes with the Waipara Hills and Hanmer Forest as backdrops offer a glimpse of the talented portfolio to come.
