About

At the core of my practice is a deep connection to New Zealand’s landscapes and environments.


It's why I live near the coast, it's why we grow a lot of our own food, and it's why I design architecture the way I do.


My work focuses on rural, coastal, and lifestyle block home design, which is shaped by my lived experience in similar settings. This enables me to provide a grounded understanding of the realities and opportunities of these sites, which helps inform all my designs.


With over a decade of experience in bespoke residential design, and qualifications in both architecture and landscape architecture, I offer a practical and well-guided architecture service - from first concept right through to consent.

Design Philosophy

Good architecture works with the land rather than against it.


I design homes that respond to their surroundings, perform well in their climate, and create a strong connection between people and place — supporting a more comfortable and grounded way of living.

"Ooh its lovely!  Now I understand why house hunters bleat on about natural light – makes such a difference to the head. The location of the office is a bit of a highlight but too many highlights to list really!"
