Nelson

Completed - 2016

Project Architect: Brendon Monk

This small project was an alteration to a heritage house in Nelson’s Tasman Street including the complete redesign of the kitchen and dining area.

The kitchen is designed to be the heart of the house for a young family, so it was opened to the dining room and to the outdoors with large bifold doors.

The joinery is kept to a simple palette of whites and neutrals so as to not compete with the rich timbers of the rest of the house. Demolition of wall linings uncovered an unused fireplace which was expressed, adding richness and texture.

About the
Professional

MODO Architects operates with the simple overriding desire to produce buildings of poetic beauty and place. We have a responsibility to create buildings that respond to and engage with people and landscape, both visually and sustainably. MODO Architects are skilled in a wide range of architectural design from residential, multi-unit residential, commercial, education, community, interior and landscape.

For us the first and most important stage of the architectural process is to understand and empathize with you, the client. Having an architect that can step into your shoes and see the project from your perspective is essential. We are based in Auckland but spend several days per month in and around Nelson on projects. We are used to working remotely so can take on projects anywhere. 

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.
