By Karl Majurey Architect
No1 Kaipiho is striking – and for good reason. The Concept Design Architect – Karl Majurey Architects was inspired by famed Architect Renzo Piano’s renowned Miami project, Eighty Seven Park & Arquitectonica’s – Regalia also in Miami, where structure is kept internal which allows cantilevered free formed balconies to be designed externally along with creating large apartments with individual lift access on each level (no arrival in lift lobbies) – 11 Private Lifts, car park robotic stacking systems and concrete floor jacking systems (resulting in high ceilings with no beams blocking views) allowing technology to create a more efficient cost effective living environment design solution.
Being the self proclaimed – 'The architect on Waiheke', Karl is focussing on marketing with real estate agents all the empty sections on Waiheke & to this end has produced a planning report & aerial & contour plan on all sections to assist purchasers in the process. (250 sections are available) Perhaps 'The section architect on Waiheke' would be more appropriate. Karl really gets a kick out of helping people create their vision whether it be on a small or grand scale.” I’m just as happy designing a house alteration as I am working on the larger projects as my portfolio demonstrates. I offer a free one-hour consultation to any client who needs an opinion on an architectural project that they have in mind.
It has allowed me to meet & work with some extraordinary clients & colleagues, some of whom end up being long-term friends. I have been lucky enough to have, worked throughout New Zealand, in the Pacific Islands (Rarotonga & Fiji), Europe (Spain) & Asia (China) while being based in this beautiful country New Zealand. Naturally over time a Pacific flare to my work has developed, heavily influenced by the places, cultures & people I have experienced. I have managed to combine the above with innovative technologies & the need for sustainable architecture to create some exceptional forms of architecture.
