Parish Alterations banner

The Parish home did not suit a family with two active little boys. We have reconfigured the existing east end of the house to create a generous master bedroom suite using the redundant garage, fourth bedroom and existing master bedroom. The existing ensuite bathroom has become an ensuite for the boys’ bedrooms, enabling visiting guests exclusive rights to the main bathroom. The reconfigured spaces have enabled our client to explore her passion for decorating with large walls and great light.

About the
Professional

At Fiona Macpherson Architecture we actively encourage our clients to reduce their footprint on this earth and consider their health by choosing natural non-toxic materials where possible.  We have experience using different high-performance build techniques including SIPS; we hold a belief that investing in your building envelope will reduce running costs, create a healthier home and leave a positive legacy for future generations.

We see our role as the designer to facilitate a joyful relationship between the client and the builder to create timeless architecture that meets the needs of the occupants.  Often for us, it is about matching personalities to facilitate positive outcomes.  

Fiona has 25 years experience in architecture in New Zealand and England.  Our small team prides itself on producing concise, clear documentation helped by the move into BIM modelling.   We share our 3D and VR models with our clients creating a design tool to foster full understanding and avoid disappointment.  This process often results in excitement, enthusiasm and a sense of collaboration for the project ahead.

We also act as the lead designer for Black Hut Designs - check out our website www.blackhut.co.nz for further information about what we do.

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.
