Higham Architecture Want something a little different? New homes & house additions & alterations

Higham Architecture is a specialist in unique, residential architecture, both new homes and additions/alterations. With over 20 years experience and more than 30 design awards, designer Jason Higham prides himself on high quality custom architectural design and a personalised service to suit each clients' needs. From initial concepts to final documentation, Jason enjoys the challenge that every pr

oject brings, ensuring functional needs are met, balanced with aesthetics, and of course, the budget. As part of the service, Jason utilizes leading-edge 3D software to create computer visualisations of each design so that clients can accurately see how their design will look and feel before it is even built. All projects also include virtual reality (VR) and receive a FREE VR headset, providing a fully immersive experience throughout the design process of your new home or renovation. Higham Architecture is Lifemark accredited, so Jason can help ensure your home design is accessible, adaptable and safe for your entire family now and in the future. Also certified as a Homestar Practitioner, sustainability aspects are important for Jason. Evidence of his emphasis on quality rather than quantity can be seen in the numerous regional and national architecture awards Jason has won over the years, and in the fact that most new clients approach Higham Architecture via word of mouth referrals. While the office is based in Rangiora, Jason is also regularly in Christchurch for site visits, client meetings, etc, so is well positioned to personally service the region. Examples of his work can be seen throughout Christchurch and the greater Canterbury region, including work in Banks Peninsula, West Melton, Templeton, Kaiapoi, West Eyreton, Cheviot, Waikari, and Hanmer Springs, as well as down in Wanaka. Jason also produces a FREE quarterly newsletter full of inspiration & information for anyone interested in building or renovating, so feel free to email him to join the mailing list: [email protected]

Window seats hold a unique emotional appeal for many people, and they continue to be a popular request in new home and renovation projects. They can take many forms - here's just two inspiring examples from our project collection 😊

"After building twice before without the guidance of a designer, Jason made us feel very confident we would finally get what we wanted third time around. He followed our brief well and provided valuable detail to our plan and design that we would never have thought about ourselves. His inclusion and understanding of the Lifemark Design Standards was of great value."

An absolute privilege and pleasure to have one of my projects included in the annual Architectural Designers New Zealand Architectural Tour in the weekend! On a stunning day out, and following visits to an outstanding collection of homes in Castle Hill, this home was our last stop on the way back to Christchurch.

Now 10 years old, it still holds a special place for me and, more importantly, the homeowners still absolutely love it too! With the maximum 5 Star Lifemark certification it will continue to serve them well into the future.

Special thanks to my wonderful clients for allowing a busload of curious people invade their home 🤩

"We engaged Higham Architecture to plan an extensive renovation to our home and found the entire process easy to be involved with until completion.
Upon first meeting Jason we found him friendly and honest.
There are no gaps in his knowledge regarding the process, design stage or products available to be used. We felt reassured with him moving things forward and communicating with engineers and builders.
The builders made comments to me on several occasions regarding how well the build was proceeding.
We have no hesitation in recommending Jason to anyone for future projects."
