West House

Higham Architecture is a specialist in unique, residential architecture, both new homes and additions/alterations. With over 25 years experience and more than 30 design awards, architectural designer Jason Higham prides himself on high quality design and a personalised service to suit each client.

Meeting clients on-site (or at home) is an important first step in the process that Jason really enjoys – it's a chance to see the characteristics of the site, the clients, and the potential of the design project. Jason works closely with clients to help ensure their functional needs are met, balanced with aesthetics and the budget. Leading-edge 3D software is used to create computer visualisations of each design so that clients can accurately see how their design will look and feel before it is even built.

Higham Architecture is Lifemark accredited, so Jason can help ensure your home design is accessible, adaptable and safe for your entire family now and in the future. Also certified as a Homestar Practitioner, sustainability aspects are important for Jason. Evidence of his emphasis on quality rather than quantity can be seen in the numerous regional and national architecture awards Jason has won over the years, and in the fact that almost all new clients approach Higham Architecture via word of mouth referrals.

While the office is based in Rangiora, Jason is also regularly in Christchurch for site visits, client meetings, etc, so is well positioned to personally service the region. Examples of his work can be seen throughout Christchurch and the greater Canterbury region, including work in Banks Peninsula, West Melton, Templeton, Kaiapoi, West Eyreton, Cheviot, Waikari, and Hanmer Springs, as well as down in Wanaka.
