Halswell - Christchurch, 2013. 

Encapsulating basic passive heating and cooling principles, this new Halswell Residence was designed to offer its owners a play on the classic European farm barn conversion.  

By incorporating large hardwood beams, which the owners had sourced over the years, with exposed steelwork, raw concrete and plenty of subtle details blended with beautifully crafted bespoke joinery units, the house espouses a rich tapestry of old and new.

About the
Professional

Nic Curragh

Born and raised in Christchurch, Nic returned from Vancouver, Canada in 2010 and set up Objects Ltd after having spent 14 years as a special effects designer & builder within the motion picture industry. 

Classically trained as a draughtsman through Christchurch Polytechnic and Sheppard & Rout Architects, Nic then furthered his education at Auckland University prior to a "one year" sabbatical that resulted in his lengthy Vancouver vocation.

With an adept knowledge of materials, technique and manufacture that result in detail-rich designs, Nic now applies this skill to architecture: his first passion.

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.
