THE BARN / PONSONBY, NZ
PROJECT: A personal project for the founder of Good_Space + her family. The Barn was designed by John Irving alongside Jade, creating a calm, light-filled + open space that used natural + reclaimed materials. It’s where the passion for Wellness Architecture originated, a biophilic designed villa conversion that seamlessly blended the old + the new. A smart home Fibaro system was installed to control both the natural + artificial lighting elements, optimising shade through roller blinds + louvers. Creating a comfortable + glare-free environment. This, along with a focus on acoustics saw the internally generated noise buffered via a tongue + groove texture of the ceiling. Given the location, street noise was further mitigated via the installation of double glazed windows + sound proof insulation at the front of the home.
