Profile

I live and work on a 35 Ha sustainable forest, 10 Km west of Dunedin. I have been operating as a sole practitioner, designing for 25 years years.

The early years I built many of the designs that I created. This gave me a very unique understanding of the construction process. From an idea, through to contract documents and on to the build project. I have a strong understanding of building structure and how materials fit together. I use unconventional and conventional materials in an innovated way, providing clients with unique homes that stand apart. I place a strong emphasis on the environment using materials and building systems that leave a small ecological footprint. My building always exceed the building code standard, for thermal efficiency.

I Have experience in all construction methods, earth, straw-bale, lightweight conc, and all the conventional materials. I use the 3D virtual model to conceptualize, and produce the contract documents.

I have traveled extensively to Nth America, Asia and Europe as part of my further education. Working as a builder and designer, assimilating ideas and construction methods. Also attending conferences, seminars and workshops in my fields of interest. This has given me a global perspective to the built environment.

I work alone taking all projects from concept to the finish.
