A home positioned to engage with the beautiful Wairarapa Stream along its North-West boundary in urban Christchurch. Three simple geometric forms, sitting on the site like rudimentary building blocks. Two plaster forms supporting, but only just, the dark cedar weatherboard block above. The landscape plays an important role in this home; the design gives each occupant the opportunity to engage with the stream backdrop from all living spaces.

Welcome to our award winning architectural and interior design practice.

We invite you to meet us and explore what we can do for you. As you will discover, our client focussed process is thorough, robust and responsive.

We see architecture as the culmination of a journey with you. As we get to know you, so we begin the design process that responds with creativity and flair to your ideas and requirements. Our journey together is also shaped by awareness of the environment and location, with all elements working harmoniously together to create beautiful and functional architecture.

We understand that the experience of designing a new home is a life changing journey and we seek to make the experience as stress-free and fun as possible by celebrating milestones along the way and keeping you well-informed on progress.We look forward to meeting you, working alongside you and sharing in your journey.
