This small off grid bach provides a flexible space for this family of four to enjoy escaping town, hosting friends and hooning around on motor bikes. The yard is used for tenting and play while the building becomes the meeting place to share meals together. At its heart is the large deck, providing adequate shelter from the elements while allowing a connected experience of the land. The corrugate cladding, timber interiors, and exposed trusses honour the agricultural vernacular of the rural Hawkes bay country side.
From urban spaces and workplaces, to private homes and holiday retreats, we believe good design should create an enriching experience that inspires individual and social well-being.
From our studios in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty we offer a comprehensive architectural service, extending from the macro level of master planning to the tactile experience of intimate interior spaces.
Each of our projects is an opportunity to bring together, people, capability and resource, in order to produce the highest outcome. Our design-led and pragmatic approach develops design responses that are thoughtful and beautiful yet grounded in a deep understanding of craftsmanship and technology.
Since Edwards White began in 2005 we have been designing with a deep respect of the environmental context. We believe that early integration of sustainability into conceptual thinking, leads to rich design outcomes that positively shape our environment and our culture. We’re also taking additional steps to improve the way our decisions and operations support a low carbon future, and are committed to the education and implementation of these practices.
