You belong here

The spaces we inhabit, the people we inhabit them with: together they satisfy our need, as humans, to belong. This kitchen, with its abundant natural light and interplay of soft timber, hard steel and homely treasures, provides a space for this family to thrive together.

Great architecture should always be centred on the people it surrounds – even the greatest architecture is nothing without its people. Allow us to create the spaces you inhabit for work, for family, for play, for rest. Allow us to help you belong.

The Van Dalen House

Situated on the edge of Whanganui, the Van Dalen House is a 3 pavilion, 2 story, country house. The plan and form take what would be a large house and break it down into pavilions. These pavilions allow the investigation of smaller scale fine features, such as the exposed rafters to the roof edge, the facings and sills to windows, and the timber slatted pergola elements over doors.

Westmere House

Located in semi-rural Westmere, Whanganui, this 1970’s home had a cramped kitchen and laundry that needed to function better for the family. The existing kitchen, laundry and WC were cleared out, and addition made to square off the corner of the house. The layout of the laundry, kitchen and dining were re-organised and a skylight introduced into the kitchen to drape the space in a soft light.
