Moncks Bay Lane
By Objects
This five-bedroom family house derives its strong form from the adaption to site and the new planning constraints that now govern these coastal areas. Planning articulates around a central entrance courtyard garden with split multi-levels separating living & sleeping areas. Double height spaces in the living & sunrooms share these light-filled spaces vertically through the house. Materially a combination of bricks, dark stained Cedar, Oak Timbers & bronze tones punctuate the architectural form and consistent use of these materials blurs the delineation of spaces from the inside out. Raised garden boxes & green roofs provide scale and connection.

Nic Curragh
Born and raised in Christchurch, Nic returned from Vancouver, Canada in 2010 and set up Objects Ltd after having spent 14 years as a special effects designer & builder within the motion picture industry.
Classically trained as a draughtsman through Christchurch Polytechnic and Sheppard & Rout Architects, Nic then furthered his education at Auckland University prior to a "one year" sabbatical that resulted in his lengthy Vancouver vocation.
With an adept knowledge of materials, technique and manufacture that result in detail-rich designs, Nic now applies this skill to architecture: his first passion.
