“A Shed in the bush……the starting context for this development”

A hidden sanctuary, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, nestled down into the bush clearing, provides a perfect platform for the simplicity of life.

With the thought of the old barn lean-too type aesthetic, an extended “lean-too” was adopted to be our shelter in the bush.

A black Colorsteel shell encompasses the rich cedar recesses, creating warmth against the black outer skin

Within the bush environment, a compact design was used to position all living spaces and bedrooms with direct access to the exterior and the bush beyond, an area for 3 young boys to roam and create mischief.

About the
Professional

Noel Jessop Architecture is a Hamilton based architectural design team. We are a multi-award winning practice and have an exceptional portfolio of work that can be viewed at www.nja.co.nz.

Our experience encompasses coastal and rural homes, large scale residential, commercial and industrial developments, which has led to numerous architectural awards both locally and nationally.

We are proud to have been regularly published in Urbis, NZ Home and Garden and Homestyle magazines.

NJA strives for the highest standards of client service, design and documentation. At the completion of each project the aim is to have achieved a building that is beyond the client's expectations. Our commitment to providing superior service to our clients has been recognized with a nomination for a Business Excellence Award by the Waikato Chamber of Commerce.

Each project is analyzed for its special requirements and opportunities: the end result being not a preconceived idea but a combination of the client's requirements and desires, the site and the budget. Critical consideration is given to the project's specific environmental and historical location, and to the appropriate materials and construction methods of the locality.

NJA believes good design will produce sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces and buildings that have an enduring quality over time.

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.
