Step-By-Step

The structural path

We map every milestone of your build to eliminate friction. From raw site-specific response analysis to final timber-to-steel details, our studio keeps you fully informed.

01 / Site & Consent

We analyze coastal wind loads and navigate the Auckland Council resource consent clarity requirements, securing a firm foundation for the build.

02 / Detailed Design

Our College Hill studio translates concepts into precise timber-to-steel details, selecting durable materials that thrive in the Hauraki Gulf light.

03 / Construction Handover

We collaborate directly with trusted contractors on-site, managing structural integrity until we hand over the keys to your completed space.

Common Questions

Clear answers

Honest collaboration means talking openly about regulatory hurdles, site-specific response strategies, and structural realities without hiding behind industry jargon.

How do you handle coastal wind loads?

Can we visit the College Hill studio?

We engineer every coastal home specifically for the intense marine environment, choosing high-performance timber-to-steel details that resist salt and heavy winds.

Yes. We host regular client workshops at our Auckland office to review material samples, drawings, and physical structural models under natural light.

Do you manage the build phase?

What is your approach to resource consent?

While we do not act as builders, we provide rigorous observation and direct communication with contractors to ensure architectural intent is delivered perfectly.

We manage the entire Auckland Council process. Our deep familiarity with local environmental zoning ensures resource consent clarity and avoids costly design delays.
