The medical practice needed to relocate so they purchased a residential property in a very visible location. The old house was removed, and a new purpose-built centre for this general practice was established with space for supporting consultants. The site had great harbour and sky tower views from the upper level, so two upmarket apartments were included on a second storey to make the most of the site. Timber decks and glazed balustrades to the upper floor apartments were included to allow occupants to engage with the views available.
The client felt the aesthetics of the space contributed to the occupants well being, so a lot of attention was given to those details. The building is architectural stacked bonded masonry to the front with a stone veneer decorative feature around the base, and Sto plaster system at the upper level. Feature tile and decorative panel walls are positioned throughout the centre with extensive purpose built joinery both in the medical centre and apartments above. Privacy and acoustics both internally and externally were key considerations in the project.

Connecting with people and providing great but practical design solutions to their spaces is the driver in my work. My aim is to provide you with a personal service, listen to your requirements, and produce something that will add to your quality of life.
The project must be affordable, enhancing the existing built and natural landscape it sits in. Its aesthetic is generated from your preferences and the existing context. I hope to create something better than expected yet still within your budget!
It can start with project feasibility studies, and pre purchase design consultation, then move to preliminary sketch designs. These can be developed to include colour and joinery design, then resource consent and building consent plans, through to builder selection and project observation. I am happy to guide you step by step through the process, and all the while ensuring you’re comfortable with the pace. I believe in having integrity in all we do, and you’ll find our service straightforward, and honest.
We service central, west and south Auckland areas as well as the Waikato region.
