My love of natural places is what drives me - it's had a huge impact on my life and the way I design architecture.
From countless adventures seeking isolated surf breaks and mountain ranges, to setting up a wonderful life of remote living in nature with my partner and kids - I've learned how to listen to the land, how to harness its architectural potential, and how to make the most of beautiful natural sites.
With over a decade's experience in bespoke residential architecture across New Zealand, and degrees in both architecture and landscape architecture, I've got the unique combination of first-hand experience, design skill and knowledge needed to bring your project to life.

I only work with only a small number of clients each year.
Rather than taking on as many projects as possible, I prefer to be a bit more exclusive - focusing only on the projects that are the best fit. This lets me give each one the time, attention, and creativity it really deserves - to be fully present and invested in creating something meaningful and enduring for you.
