Showcase
The new average Jo
With shrinking land availability and stricter local planning rules, smaller lots present an unprecedented challenge. With a mere 190sqm to build on, the client required a functional entry onto the property ladder, so the only way to go was up.
Featuring open plan living with high raked ceiling
and direct access to private courtyard, this modest
first home delivers a bold YES to doing more with less.
With prescribed district plan rulings, subdivision covenants, and with a public reserve to the back, privacy is a major consideration.

Social Co-housing
Cohousing is often presented as the solution to our housing crisis. However, just as the current discussion, it seems to overlook the fact that existing co-housing projects in Aotearoa are no more affordable or obtainable by our most vulnerable than properties developed through the concurrent models.
This project interrogates the viability of co-housing principles used for the development of our social housing, and provision of alternative communal living.
