After watching his family get sick in cold, mouldy, minimum code buildings, Director Joe Lyth’s passion grew for building performance and occupant health. His belief is that homes should achieve a standard far above what the NZ Building Code achieves, but that this doesn’t necessarily mean significant additional cost if this is considered holistically throughout the design process.

​He produced his own project Lower Saddle Passive House, using SIPs, to ensure his family’s health, and show that healthier, lower energy and affordable buildings are possible for everyone in New Zealand, at standard budgets. He has since used the project as a pathway to test approaches to achieving better buildings, and as an education tool for the wider industry.​

​After over 8 years working on a wide range of projects in New Zealand, Joe decided to focus his work on helping the industry move towards buildings that are healthier, lower energy, and kinder on both people, and planet. He decided to take the plunge and open WEL – a practice that provides services that include design, consult and teach, to provide value in his own work, and to the wider industry.

Working with WEL puts performance and health alongside beauty and function, to deliver buildings that will last longer, be lower maintenance, have lower running costs, be low energy, more comfortable, and a lighter touch on the planet.

Changing lives through great architecture & design. That is our mantra.

To achieve that mantra we believe in the principle of Client-Centric Design. Client-Centric Design is an overarching philosophy that puts our clients at the centre of the design process. It focuses on an approach that prioritises the needs, preferences, and aspirations of the client or end-user throughout the architectural design process. The goal is to create buildings, spaces, and environments that not only meet functional requirements but also resonate with the people who will use and inhabit them. This approach is especially crucial as architecture has a direct impact on the well-being, comfort, and experiences of the occupants.

Client-Centric Design in architecture goes beyond the physical structure; it involves understanding and addressing the emotional and psychological needs of the clients. By placing the client at the centre of the design process, we can create spaces that truly resonate with and enrich the lives of those who use them.

At Imagine Architecture, we believe that good architecture has the power to change lives. That’s why we are committed to using Client-Centric Design principles in all of our projects. Whether we are designing a high quality, healthy home to Passive House standard or a commercial space, we always begin by listening to our clients and understanding their needs. From there, we use our expertise and creativity to craft spaces that are not only beautiful and functional, but also promote health, wellbeing, and happiness. Our tagline, “changing lives through great architecture and design”, reflects our belief that the spaces we design have the power to make a real difference in people’s lives.
