Commisioned by a young overseas based family the house is a collection of four pitched podiums containing living, sleeping and garage areas inter-connected by flat roofs housing passages and service spaces. 

Exterior cladding continues into the internal entrance enveloping the guest in dark cedar, exploring the notion of compression before being releasing into the light filled, vaulted living area. The living areas spills into an outdoor living room with fire and louvred roof affording views over mount Iron.

About the
Professional

ETAL is a design focused, residential Architecture studio based in Wellington New Zealand. We specialise in considered, modern and site specific homes taking inspiration from New Zealand’s rugged surroundings. Curating simple forms and humble material palettes we create houses reflecting your lifestyle and your site’s unique conditions.

The interplay of client aspirations, budget, and cultural context are fundamental to our design approach. Understanding and interpreting your brief are elemental to our process.

Our strength lies in closely collaborating with all stakeholders throughout the project ensuring that, as a team, we accomplish genuinely distinctive, empathetic, and accountable habitats for living.

We work on projects throughout New Zealand for clients around the world. We employ innovative technology giving you all the information you need to make design decisions, no matter where you are. 

Along with new builds we undertake alterations, additions and refurbishments. Re-imagining dated or under-utilised houses is an important part of what we do. 

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
