A new residence in the hills of Hataitai in Te Whanganui a Tara, completed in 2024. The house has a small 40ish sqm footprint and is spread across three storeys and provides a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home ideal for a small family. Our clients demonstrated great resilience in the face of many obstacles to realise this project, planning compliance, engineering challenges, one unhelpful neighbour, covid etc, but despite these and other challenges, our clients are now settled into their new home with their original home subdivided and providing rental income. We wish them the best for their future in their new home. It has been a rewarding project and we are proud of this addition to our city’s hills.

Here's a little clip of our Brooklyn Townhouse project on Washington Ave & Garfield St, completed at the end of 2023.
On this sloping site, 14 two and three bedroom townhouses designed to maximise north and west facing living are arranged in five separate blocks. They are grouped around a central carpark accessed from Washington Ave, and a pedestrian network connects to the Garfield St zig-zag path. The project replaces a deconsecrated church on a 1660m2 site.

Here’s a throwback to Egmont Street Eatery, which was awarded a Civic Trust award in 2015 and a local NZIA award in 2016.
We repurposed a basement carpark and activated a laneway, and it has been valuable to witness its magic. We hope future endeavours in this space are equally successful and celebrated.
