Kabul Street Alteration banner

On face value, this alteration included a new kitchen, moving a couple of walls and introducing more windows. However careful placement of new skylights, a transformed layout and new glazed connection to the deck has made a dramatic effect. The result is a light-filled, cosy family room with timber wall linings and shelving softening corners of the spaces. Perched near the new counter with framed views of the Wellington Harbour seen, this house has a warm new heart.

About the
Professional

Each architectural project we create evolves holistically from the poetics of landscape & craft, cultural context, sound technical understanding, budget pragmatics & client aspirations.

Founded in 2013 by Registered Architects Ana O’Connell and Tim Lovell, Lo’CA is an NZIA Architectural Practice based on Wellington’s south coast, working across a variety of scales, throughout New Zealand.

Our design process is informed by a strong collaborative approach within the studio and the partnerships we foster with clients, consultants and builders..

With an open-minded approach and clear design intent, we create thoughtfully nuanced buildings that celebrate people’s lives and connect to the New Zealand landscape.

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.
