At Nashdesign Architecture we seek to create meaningful spaces for living and working. Meaningful in the sense that we give our clients spaces and places where they feel in tune with themselves, with each other and with their environment.
This requires a lot of listening and collaboration, a little trial & error and some soul searching. That’s in essence how we create designs that deliver functionally and environmentally. We confess to being more than a little pre-occupied with how your project will look and it's important to us to be there during the build process to keep these things on track for an end result that looks great and feels right for you.

Project: Maori Bay House, West Coast Auckland

2015

This family home on the west coast of Auckland is designed to make the most of the stunning view of Maori Bay and to offer alternative covered outdoor spaces for when the prevailing westerlys get too much.  The clients brief called for simple, clean lines and good connections to outdoor spaces. The simple box form of the upper floor is clad in Macrocarpa.  Recesses, bays and cantilevers over the black plastered ground floor level are used to give visual interest to the form.  The simple appearance belies the complex constraints on the site in terms of topography, planning envelope, landscape protection, preservation of a pohutukawa and the space requirements to deal with rainwater storage and wastewater treatment on site.
