Beggars Roost
By Anna-Marie Chin Architects
‘Subtle and thoughtful alterations to this 1960’s John Blair house set a fine example of how to add 21st century comfort and light, while staying true to the exposed structure and elegant form. Only small corners of space have been added to modernise the planning, while a new box window, updated dormers and chimney are sensitive formal additions that work with the old and stand proudly against it. The wide new stairs and relocated kitchen have improved connections between inside and out, and the judicious use of paint has lightened the interior and defined the existing structure.’ NZIA

About the
Professional
Our team of 7 create buildings that are beautiful, often simple and sit at ease with the land.
The creative nature and challenge of the design is all important, crafting buildings unique to each individual client.
As registered architects we enjoy working with clients who are interested – inspired perhaps – about architecture, and who want to engage in the design process. This relationship is integral to the outcome, and is based on clarity and trust.
The essential elements of design are texture and space. We select raw materials that invite the patina of age, giving character and warmth to a home or workplace. The created spaces – inside and out – must evoke a response, be it inspiration or simply a sense of warmth or well-being.
Site is paramount. Rather than making an architectural statement we prefer to respond to the land, creating timeless and authentic buildings to be enjoyed now and well into the future.
