The Hide Kapiti.

Photoshoot day at one of our latest Kapiti projects, having recently recieved CCC.

Located on a remote site, the client’s vision for a retreat in the hills posed a challenging but rewarding project for the design team and we relished the opportunity.

A hideaway set within the serene rural locality of Maungakotukutuku, its clean lines, sharp edges and considered materials help to elevate the sweeping Kapiti Coast views.

Kapiti turning it on for a fun day collaborating with the talented as we build upon revealing more of this fulfilling mahi.

Jones Deviation.

Injecting life into a tired Lockwood home, this addition soulfully expresses shape and form through timber and glazing over a grounded curved brick base - where clean defined lines sit against the backdrop of rural nature.

We are delighted to see this whare come together.

Kōpuha o te Takutai.

More from our 3 split-level bach on the Kapiti Coast, this time from the interior. Cozy interiors reflect a sandy colour hue, contrasting beautifully with the leafy tones of the surrounding trees which the bach sits amongst.
