Practical completion! Looking forward to a G&T on this deck with one happy client, back in her own house again post earthquake. A simple 100m2 house with a six page building consent package. Houses don't always need to be complicated. Move in day tomorrow. Thanks to Taylor Made Homes for great workmanship .

I met up with Matthew Cutler-Walsh from Home Style Green while in Auckland recently. We had a good chat about providing housing for all various needs, high performance building and the hard work involved in making architecture simple. Check out the published interview below.

The Bowenvale house is light-filled and feels very peaceful. Late afternoon shadows reach into the interior against the feature timber stair.

A common misconception is that a passive house design means small windows and reduced outlook. Yes, we do assess the windows carefully but the key is to ensure they all do the best job they can. Large openings in key spaces where they are needed, then smaller windows in other spaces that frame views and draw your attention out to the wider landscape.

Because building with sustainable materials should not be an option, it is an obligation we have to future generations.

Who says architects only like black? Happy to see a swathe of green mHRV ducting running through the Sumner house.
