Arney Crescent - Remuera
This speculative design maximised restricted heights by responding with a stepped design which allowed views through rooms on different levels to the sea views beyond. It provides the executive spaces expected in this premier residential dress circle. The home was purchased by the first viewer and has been retained long term.

Sylvia Road - St Heliers
The design challenge was to manage the northern aspect view potential with privacy from the street & neighbouring homes which was solved by using split-level interconnecting spaces of different heights with selected high level glazing to define spaces and provide natural lighting.

Mt Taylor Drive - Glendowie
Approached to re-imagine the new century family home, this design constructed in a strong durable shot-crete concrete building system provided formal and informal forms connected via the light filled 'street' as part of the regeneration of a suburban street with a reputation for trouble.

Hamana Street - Narrowneck
A home for generations, designed to allow for aging in place without compromise. The home over 3 levels provides separate spaces for family, guests, and a private master space enjoying commanding views. This home includes technology to protect and operate independently when required. Aesthetically it takes its cues from the sandy beach below.
