At the core of my practice is an appreciation for New Zealand's environments.
It's why I spend most of my free time in the outdoors. It's why I care about our natural places. And it's why I design architecture the way I do.
To me, good architecture works with the land. Architecture that responds to its surroundings, achieves high performance passively, and creates a strong connection between people and their place - supporting them to live the lives they want.
Whether creating comfort in remote and rural sites, designing environmentally sustainable eco homes, or complimenting beautiful locations, each project is carefully considered with a clear focus on your lifestyle and the opportunities of your site.
With over a decade of experience in bespoke residential architecture, and qualifications in both architecture and landscape architecture, I offer a service suited to those looking for a practical, efficient, and comfortable home that works with nature, not against it.
