Palliser Road Home
By John Mills Architects
The owners of this home bought it out of a love for its style, form and position, perched over Oriental bay and Port Nicholson. However, after living in it for a year they discovered it was cold, dark and offered very limited spaces to enjoy the sun and town belt surrounds. The brief was to restore and enhance the Athfield home they loved, while providing spaces to celebrate the lifestyle they desired, inside and out.
We proposed a new room that would provide a celebration of place while embracing the view, sun and surrounds. With the deck and steps, we gave the house more options to explore the melody of spaces and forms from within and without. The new lounge was designed to compliment the original living area. There is now a revitalisation of the original living possibilities; good for another fifty years and beyond.

About the
Professional
JMA has been operating in Wellington, New Zealand since 1990. It has a distinctive aesthetic that seeks to combine our passion for materials and colour with a desire to create uniquely tailored architecture for the individual or specific organisation. The studio has completed projects around New Zealand, including Auckland and Nelson.
The team endeavours to create architecture that speaks of its sites and surroundings, with grace, poetry and personality – unencumbered by blind conformity and dictates of transient fashion. JMA works together with clients and builders to craft beautiful forms and engaging spaces that make the heart leap and the soul sing.
Practicality and comfort are so fundamental to quality building, form and space. The heart should leap, the eyes should widen and the soul should sing. This is the aim of architecture.
