This new home for actor Oliver Driver, his wife Ella and their two children was designed by the talented team at Ponting Fitzgerald Architects and was documented and published My New Home, in social media and in several national magazine publications.

The waterfront site in Te Atatu Peninsular had unique challenges due to the boggy ground conditions and very high water table, requiring 3.6m piles. The slick black form is clad in prefinished corrugate iron, a low maintenance selection and the structure was future-proofed for a second story master suite.

About the
Professional

We are a group of forward-thinking, innovative and design-focused builders. James Hosking founded the company in 2011 and is committed to leading a team of dedicated and efficient craftsmen handpicked for their honest work ethic and passion for construction and design.

Our experience ranges from residential new homes, alterations and extensions to commercial & event spaces, restaurants and shop fit-outs. We have a passion for beautiful and appropriate outcomes, whether that be architecturally modern or heritage.

We pride ourselves on excellent communication and are experienced and competent to manage complex projects and multiple sub-trades to achieve happy and successful outcomes for our clients and their architects. We have great respect for the broader team with strong relationships with various specialist trades and the architectural industry, and many repeat clients. Our clients are design-focused, practical and interested in sustainable outcomes.

James has an eye for detail and a breadth of knowledge of the local construction and architecture industries. He leads site managers with expertise and unwavering support through procurement, cost control, programming and compliance.

Our workshop in Mount Roskill allows us to fabricate items offsite for increased efficiency and work within a controlled environment all year round. We are also aware of the significant role construction plays in waste and emissions and are currently piloting an inhouse transport and waste management system to reduce our load on the environment.

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.
