Lake Hayes Cottage
By Anna-Marie Chin Architects
‘The additions to a two-storey cottage nestled into large trees have been expertly handled to enhance the existing building and make the most of the site’s natural advantages. The management of the proportional relationship between the two forms is masterful, as is the treatment of such project elements as the spanning of a watercourse, the overhang on the addition, and the white slatted screens that serve to tie the buildings together. The cottage is both evocative of another time and ideal for contemporary occupation.’ - NZIA
From spanning a watercourse to the elegant overhang on the extension, every detail was carefully considered. The white slatted screens not only tie the buildings together but also add a touch of charm.

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.
