A one-off home on a steep, unforgiving site — lifted on steel stilts to capture the view and tread lightly on the land. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, warm timber ceilings and flooring, and a rooftop deck make the most of the position. Proof of what's possible when considered design meets precise construction.

A bespoke studio built around materiality — concrete, timber and natural stone working as one. In-situ concrete stairs and a custom feature wall carrying the client's logo anchor the space, while cedar linings and a 40mm Brazilian stone shower bring warmth to the detail. Small in footprint, exacting in finish.

Named for the wing of a seagull in flight, the home is defined by its roof — a single sweeping form held in clean, uninterrupted lines by a concealed internal gutter and spouting. Abodo timber cladding wraps the exterior; inside, precise negative detailing in the plywood linings carries the craftsmanship through. Sited to hold the view across Wellington Harbour.

An art studio set between the family home and the landscape, designed to step back and let the site lead. A restrained palette lets the building recede into its surroundings, while custom flashing details reward a closer look. A quiet, considered space where architecture and nature settle together.
