Flaxton Homestead
https://young.co.nz/architects/project/flaxton-homestead
Heritage NZ have said "...the restoration and upgrade of the existing family homestead has been sensitively and creatively executed by Young Architects. The new annex is a triumph, not only extending the life of the existing heritage building, but enhancing appreciation through thoughtful choices in materiality and design that reference Flaxton's historic fabric and use". Dr Christine Whybrew.

Young Architects started on this day 26 years ago. Definitely not young any more!

Complete architecture. We prefer to design everything, and stay involved in the construction - this gives a cohesive result. As an example, we designed the bathrooms to this heritage home as part of the extension - every room adds to the narrative of the homes history.
