Creating a new home for many people is a dream, but it can also be overwhelming. Whether you are envisioning a small modern home design or a larger bespoke new build, we make the process enjoyable and empowering.
We will inspire and collaborate to create a design that incorporates your needs whether it be a mid-century inspired retreat, a high-performance passive home, or a design that offers shelter from prevailing Canterbury winds. From managing difficult land boundaries to capturing the sun, we are committed to architectural design that makes for easy, comfortable living, and a home you can imagine as your forever home.
As a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP), we process the building consent documentation and manage council liaison to make it an easy, understandable experience. We can recommend trusted builders, liaise with building contractors and consultants, for a seamless experience. New build design also enables us to incorporate new technology - we are always looking for new possibilities, promoting technologies, new materials and methods to make the building process more efficient.
We get it. You love your home: the location is perfect, the children are settled, but your house doesn’t suit your needs anymore. It’s a common problem. As renovation architectural designers in Christchurch, we love designing spaces and environments that evolve with you.
We specialise in maximising potential! That could be updating kitchens and bathrooms or designing comprehensive home renovations that include modern necessities like double glazing and efficient heating solutions. From contemporary renovation plans to overcoming the "leaky home" challenges of a re-clad, we provide functional, buildable solutions.
Even with the tricky issues of a renovation, we advise and guide you. We are knowledgeable on the consent process, and NZ building regulations and rules. We ensure that even complex additions meet all Christchurch City Council requirements while improving your home's value and comfort.
A good renovation will ultimately change your home and the way you live in it for the better.
Every new build home or every addition or alteration to existing premises, are all different. Each job has it’s own client-driven necessities, town planning requirements, site constraints, and budgets.
From a home gym in a new pavilion to the renovations of existing homes or restoration of historical buildings, we treat every project individually. We have specialised experience in hill-site architecture across Mt Pleasant and Sumner, as well as commercial building design for Christchurch business.
Whether it's earthquake repair documentation, leaky home remediation, or projects requiring improved accessibility, we achieve results through close communications with specialist consultants such as surveyors, engineers, and builders.
Over the years we have built a vast knowledge base for unusual projects requiring bespoke home plans or capabilities in extreme weather environments or for unique site conditions. If you've got some quirky build in mind - let's chat!
