A beautiful sunset shot by our client from their new home!
Voon House is situated up on a hill in Nelson looking down onto the stunning Waimea Inlet. The outdoor pergola with polycarbonate roofing and cedar slats provide the perfect shade in summer with strong architectural forms.

Our team has been working on a few concept designs to extend and create a better community space from an existing folley at Barry Curtis Park.
The design extends off the existing geometric structure to create a dramatic slatted outdoor space with seating, outdoor BBQs and landscaping features of the park.
The unused hidden community room becomes fully open to provide a more inviting space for the community to use.
