Turner Road Architecture - Stepped Ridge House
Winner of the 2022 ADNZ Residential New Home over 300m2 Architectural Design Award and the Resene Colour in Design Award. This contemporary low-lying home steps down the natural contour of the ridge, in the foothills of Maungakawa mountain, providing expansive, panoramic views of the plains below.
The brief was to create an easy living dwelling with a contemporary aesthetic which did justice to the location and embraced the dramatic surrounding views. Our clients wanted to ensure that the building should sit comfortably rather than work competitively within its environment.
The resulting low profile, multi-pod home was built into the sloping ridge of the land, providing minimal disruption to the skyline, and constructed with raw textures and a colour palette drawn from nature, to reflect the hillside backdrop.

About the
Professional
At 14 years old, Amanda Aitken was working in the photo lab printing, selling cameras and hobby shooting in the days of film. A great foundation to learn the technical aspects of light and colour. After 8 years in labs, Amanda moved to London and began her career as a professional photographer. Her role as Head Photographer had her in charge of a large team, responsible for their creative performance and looking after high profile clients for a marketing firm.
Fast-forward to today, Amanda is back home in New Zealand shooting stills and video of architecture, interiors and a range of advertising work. Since founding the business in 2007 Amanda has the same passion and drive for interpreting what she sees in the most creative and inspirational way.
Amanda’s warm personality and calm manner compliment the efficiency and professionalism of her work. Amanda works well in collaboration or on her own accord. She searches for detail, light, form, function, while also focusing on the connection between living and environment.
On a personal level, Amanda enjoys spending time outside with her husband and 2 daughters. Walking trails, kayaking and camping.
