Have a read about our Puriri Hideaway project on Trends!

This 21m² footprint, three-level sleepout/study is nestled amongst native trees on a residential property – shaped to conform with setbacks and the mature trees themselves, the building is near invisible on approach

Stoked to have received (as a project partner, under the entrant Waikato Construction Management Limited) a NZ Commercial Property Awards - Silver Award for the Te Awamutu Presbyterian Community Centre. It's great to see this local small-town project get recognized amongst some of the best buildings in the Country.
Well done to WCML and the Te Awamutu Community Centre in creating such a successful build!

Queenwood Charm.
A recently completed house alteration we designed for a 1970's family home in Queenwood, Hamilton.

Woven Architects focus for the project was to create a more useable bathroom area and to relocate the Kitchen.

The existing single bathroom area was carefully designed in conjunction with JCC Build and the Client to form an Ensuite, a Bathroom and a separate WC, all in the area of the existing Bathroom! This creates a bathroom hub that much better serves the needs of the family, as well as fully modernizing the space.

The Living and Kitchen Areas have been swapped in location, so that now the Living is next to the large existing upper-level deck, allowing for better flow between the spaces.

At Woven Architects we design projects of all scales. At the smaller end of scale is this Pukete Bathroom Extension.

The existing bathroom was small and outdated. By infilling an area between the existing garage and front entrance we we able to increase the width of the bathroom by 1.6m. This allowed the bathroom to be modernized and an additional bath added.

Externally the extension is matched to the existing house, and you would never know there was an addition.

Have an area of your house you think could be utilized better? Get in touch, we would love to discuss options with you:

This existing house is is located on a great semi rural section in Tamahere, but what it was missing was outdoor living space. We worked with the Clients to design a large canopy extension complete with outdoor fireplace, decking, retractable sun shades and large slider doors. The result is a sheltered outdoor living space with can be enjoyed year round.

While we were at it, we designed a 2m extension to the house to provide a more generous living space and increase the size of one of the bedrooms. A separate canopy was added to form a marked entrance to the house. The result looks fantastic!

Unbuilt country residence.

We designed this stylish country residence a few years ago. We got it though the Building Consent process, but unfortunately it didn't make it to construction.

Hey features of the design included:
-Natural exterior colour palette.
-Large north facing deck with covered and screened outdoor living area.
-Twin main gable roof forms linked by a low pitched gable roof.
-The outdoor area screen matches the spacings of the battens on the solid gable ends, visually tying them together.
-Full height glazing and raking ceilings over the main living and covered outdoor living areas.
-Feature chimney.

If you're thinking of building your own country residence, we would love to help you through the journey.
