“From our very first meeting we quickly realised Guy was a terrific listener, and he really heard and understood what we were wanting for our small and permanent home. We are grateful to him as an architect for designing us a house that is a joy to live in, and characterised by simplicity, light, and a truly surprising sense of spaciousness in a 68m2 footprint.”

Filmmakers Andrea & Shane of Torchlights films, approached Energy Architecture to create a new home for their relocation from Wellington to striking family land near Middlemarch in Otago. Their high performance, off grid home was built in southland before been transported to site. Now nestled between rocks above a small lake, the house blends with the existing house and old barn, respecting the landscape that inspired the design.

We create innovative architecture that centres the wellbeing of our clients and our shared environment

Architecture is about beauty, quality, performance & responsibility. Good design grows from a process that is driven by these values and embraces challenge.

We provide full architectural services from pre-design to completion. Our experience covers different scales, levels of complexity and particular client requirements. We embrace challenge, and have a proven track record in delivering high performance projects when working under difficult constraints.

For projects targeting Passive House, Low energy Building or EnerPHit certification. We can guide you through the requirements of this process.

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.
