Type & GFA – Residential, 297m²
Year completed – 2005

A 7m high glass entry atrium dominates the road aspect of this home, which picks up movement between spaces in the home without giving away too much about the internal workings.

Concrete tilt-panel exterior walls are used to create the front living "bunker" area. Part of the brief was to create a "social lounge". We integrated this into the bunker - a solid concrete room on the south & road side of the home. As this space was intended to be more of a quiet interaction area, it was felt it didn’t require to interact with the exterior living space although a seating-level window picture frames the exterior planting.

NJA strives for the highest standards of client service, design and documentation. At the completion of each project the aim is to have achieved a building that is beyond the client's expectations. Our commitment to providing superior service to our clients has been recognized with a nomination for a Business Excellence Award by the Waikato Chamber of Commerce.

Each project is analyzed for its special requirements and opportunities: the end result being not a preconceived idea but a combination of the client's requirements and desires, the site and the budget. Critical consideration is given to the project's specific environmental and historical location, and to the appropriate materials and construction methods of the locality.

NJA believes good design will produce sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces and buildings that have an enduring quality over time.
