My House
Island Bay, Wellington, New Zealand
My House is a place of belonging,
It’s a house of openness & connection,
A place of nestled comfort & privacy,
An environment connected with community & nature,
It’s My Home,
A space & place to be & share.
Stretching out to overlook Island Bay Beach and Wellington’s rugged South Coast, My House sits over two levels, the entrance & open plan living level connecting with the street, while the lower level is nestled into the hillside, surrounded by landscaped garden.

It has been designed to optimise its compact 181m2 site with efficiency and a sense of generosity, while being easily accessible and maintained.
The home provides a sense of privacy retreat & comfort, screened from the street and passers-by, while the extended roof canopy provides shelter and protection over the deck space & bi-folding doors – connecting the interior and exterior seamlessly.

About the
Professional
We enjoy a challenge and particularly the journey that is creative problem solving.
Engaging with the latest technologies allows us to be innovative and accurate in our working, planning, budgeting, timing and construction methods. We truly believe the design and building process has many areas to be challenged and improved. We also understand that architecture isn’t just the culmination of an idea or concept but it must be responsive to the environments of; location, client needs + dreams, financial and cultural positions. Sensitively bringing these attributes together shapes, guides and balances each project’s scope, generating a unique set of criteria for the design to emerge and develop from.
As every client, site and project is different, we welcome every challenge that is presented and endeavour to make each project an exceptional journey and experience for all involved.
Clear communication, openness and integrity ground our company and its relationships with our clients and collaborators. We wish to engage with positive energy, creativity and innovation and to mitigate as many foreseeable problems that may arise or be of concern.
