Great News!  The lease was up so we took the oppoturtunity to relocate to Whitford's oldest restored historic building -  Ambrose Cottage constructed in 1868.  Our phone number, email and postal address remain unchanged. We will be having drinks for all of our clients on the verandah soon. We will keep you posted on that event.

 

 

This home has been designed in the manner of the tropical resort architecture I discovered during my travels throughout Sri Lanka and Thailand. Lush planting and an infinity swimming pool add to the intriguing tropical idiom.

The home has a floor area of approximately 450m2 with 600m2 of clay tile roof, supported on rendered cavity brick walls and Doric columns. Large porches or ‘lanai’ with multiple decks broken up paving and planting also echo the architecture of the Hawaiian Islands. A strong symbolic and metaphysical axis is established to the water views and the gulf islands, from the solid carved entry door depicting island scenes, through to the use of reflective paving inside and out, and the use of the waterfall pool to create a disappearing edge. Additional, yet to be designed planting, will soften the architecture and meld the house into landform still further.

 

Design has been has new been completed for a seven house subdivision in Alfriston.  This includes two sets of duplex townhouses – linked by internal garages; plus three stand alone houses.

These homes are typically about 200m2 and include single garaging, two living areas and four bedrooms each. Materials will include weatherboards, titan panel and block-work walls Roofing is to be and pre-painted corrugated metal. A combinantion of sunscreens, shutters and roller awnings are to be utilized both as solar control and as functional aesthetic. Documentation for resource consent is in the process of preparation.
