These images are of a project I did on Waiheke Island. Having designed the original bach some years ago, this project added a second story, containing a master bedroom suite, lounge and large roof deck area to take advantage of the sun.
These three dimensional computer models of this project allowed the client to be able to appreciate how the additions would look and feel, but it was also a requirement of the Resource Consent that images of the proposal be generated by importing the model into a digital photo of the existing house from various public vantage points.
This was in order that the council be satisfied that the effect of the alterations would be minimal in relation to surrounding development. Three dimensional models are required more and more by various councils and also are one of the best ways for clients to visualise their project.

Architektur is an Architecture firm based in Auckland, creating beautiful homes for smart and modern family living.
Attention to detail from design to building completion.
By getting the design just right Architektur Homes are creating beautiful homes for smart and modern family living.
After 15 years gaining experience with some of the best architects in New Zealand, I formed the company Architektur Ltd. The name was inspired by the period of time that I worked with architects in northern Switzerland.
From 2003 to 2013 I delivered projects for a variety of clients and budgets. I also completed a Masters Degree in Urban Design. During this time I renovated several homes, including major internal and external alterations, as well as subdividing and building new homes on new sites. Needing a further challenge between 2013 and 2018, I decided to enter the development market. Buying sites that were zoned for higher density. I project managed the development process from start to finish including employing the builder and sub-contractors directly, subdivision, consents,marketing and sales.
The experience has given me a deep insight into the entire development process, and allowed my business to grow whilst still keeping my hand in ‘pure’ architectural home design work through Architektur Ltd. One of my latest high density projects was a block of 14 studio units.
I have many contacts in the building world from engineers to town planners that I can highly recommend to my clients. Working from home means I have low overheads. Not only does this low overhead equate to lower architectural fees for you, it also means that you have one point of contact, and nothing gets lost in translation. I have a wealth of experience in all aspects of the Architecture, Construction & Development process and can be involved as much or as little as you need, based on your circumstances.
I look forward to hearing about your dreams, be it a new home, a bach or perhaps a renovation or alteration. Being a small NZ owned business means I value the personal touch and am happy to take on smaller jobs, perhaps overlooked or over-charged by larger firms.
