The Hill House banner

Wellington’s landscape is never short of challenges. How we deal with them defines our built environment. The cascading Hill House directly addresses the surrounding context, maximising on views, sunlight, air-flow and terrain resulting in what will be a stand-out home within Island Bay’s latest housing development.

The close working relationship between client and architect has been incredibly rewarding. The result is a design that is developing into an environmentally conscious home all will cherish for years to come. With significant engineering challenges the design looks to celebrate the structural and architectural solutions equally receding and projecting from the steep site.

Arête Architects will embrace your chosen environment and uncover the potential within it. Be it natural or built; micro or macro, interior or exterior, we promise to provide an architectural solution that will exist harmoniously within its context.

Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Arête Architects have a global outlook, seeking solutions, information and technologies internationally in an effort to achieve balance between the built and non-built environments we inhabit.

We love working closely with all stakeholders, through all stages of a project, to ensure that, as a team, we achieve something truly unique, responsive and responsible.  

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.
