Licensed Building Practitioner providing Architectural Draughting and Design Services in North Canterbury for New Homes and Alterations, Repairs and Renovations. A well designed home should provide comfort, aesthetic appeal, and structural integrity. I am an architectural designer based in Kaikoura, North Canterbury. I provide architectural design services for unique new homes, additions, alterat
ions and repairs. Since joining the architectural design industry in 1992, I have enjoyed working on a huge number of new builds and design projects, and have many satisfied customers throughout North Canterbury and beyond. As well as many transformations of existing houses from dysfunctional to fabulous, my design experience includes new family homes, townhouses, earth block houses, farm homesteads and sheds, motels, studios, aircraft hangars, and even a luxury treehouse which featured on Grand Designs! I am a Licensed Building Practitioner with a Design 2 License, and established my own design company Architectural Draughting & Design Ltd in 2004. Through my membership to Architectural Designers NZ (ADNZ), I regularly attend professional development training and keep up to date with the latest innovations in the building industry. When it comes to any building proposal, my client’s needs are my top priority. I listen to your ideas, needs and dreams, and then use my knowledge and innovative flair to evolve concepts into buildable reality. I have a strong focus on sustainability in construction, energy efficiency, and designing comfortable, healthy, and adaptable homes, while working within my clients' budgets. Now is a very exciting time to build, with initiatives such as the Superhome Movement, Homestar, and Passive House inspiring the creation of homes that are not only warm and dry year-round; they are also ultra energy-efficient, durable, and significantly cheaper to run for the long-term. After every initial client consultation I give a brief and no-obligation fee proposal, and explain the stages of the architectural process. Costs vary according to the complexity and nature of the proposed work. All of my designs are modelled using the latest 3D architectural modelling program, so that at every stage you can easily visualise your dream home coming to life. Thinking of building your dream home or have an exciting building project in mind? I’d love to hear from you.
