It was wonderful to see one of our projects being recognised for innovation and quality in the latest Kōrero publication.

"Are you seeing good examples of innovation?
Yes, one example is the Salvation Army development in Flat Bush. It uses a SIP (structural insulated panel) system to deliver warm, dry, large-family homes fast. By running civil works and building above-ground simultaneously, they've shaved 20% off delivery time. That kind of process innovation, combined with quality architecture, is exactly what we need."

Pinehurst - The design for this theatre and classroom building was made possible by our client’s desires to make an elegant, but practical, enduring focal point for the school. The forms compliment the surrounding school development and then with rising rooflines and curving walls, invites its patrons into the main foyer/lobby. Varying functions are accommodated within the main auditorium/performance/lecture space, which defies traditional theatre boundaries by opening out into the lobby and courtyard each side. This facilitates the expansion of the space before, during and after events to create flexible levels of social ambience and outward engagement. Pinehurst’s ongoing ‘Street’ approach adjacent to classrooms provides interconnectivity and functional spaces-off-spaces, forming learning areas that are enjoyable to use.

We are looking forward to seeing this project completed later this year, keep an eye on our page for updates and the finished product (hopefully to look very similar to our perspective images).
Our brief was to design two new modern dwellings. These encompass three Bedrooms, one being the Master Bedroom with a walk-in Wardrobe and Ensuite, all on the second floor. On the first floor a Study, dual Living spaces, Dining and a Kitchen, with Butler’s Pantry are all open to one another with access to outdoor living spaces. Then at ground floor level an Entry and Double garage provide the main access for the homeowners and visitors.
Both houses will have double glazed Aluminium joinery and be clad with Premier Group Concrete Brick Veneer, Timber Weatherboards as the main cladding and Equitone Natura panel as a feature cladding both with an Asphalt Shingle Timberline Roof cladding.
