Great start to Conference week. Just finished a tour of the Glenbrook steel mill. Weren't allowed to take photos but it was very cool . . . Well actually very hot! Amazing to see molten steel on conveyor belts being made into metal sheet coils, coated and ready to be rolled into roofing.

Looking forward to the ADNZ Conference in Auckland next week
It’s always a great opportunity to recharge the creativity batteries, gain fresh inspiration and catch up with friends.

As always, there’s a fantastic line-up of speakers, and this year we have a couple of exciting extras on the programme — a tour of the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) and a visit to the Glenbrook Steel Mill to learn about the upcoming implementation of the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF).

The EAF represents an exciting step forward for steel production in New Zealand, with the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions across the steel industry and contribute to a lower-carbon future for New Zealand.

The countdown is on! 🎉

Nine years ago, I designed the extensions to this charming early-1900s cottage. My clients lovingly restored the original home, and together we created a new extension for the living and kitchen spaces.
It’s always rewarding to design renovations that are sympathetic to the home’s original character while enhancing the way it’s lived in today.
Check out the dining area, where the original exterior weatherboards have been left on one wall — a subtle detail that highlights the transition between old and new.
