Kia ora, my passion is high performance housing. Access to warm, draught free and earthquake resilient housing should be the right of every New Zealander. Houses built today should still be relevant in 30 years time.

It’s become my mission to change the way we design and build homes in Aotearoa. This is why I’m a Bronze member of PHINZ, on the Executive of Superhome Movement, why I led the production of The Healthy Home Design Guide, and why I have created The Healthy Home Cooperation.

Housing is about people. People working together in cooperation to provide Healthy Homes for people to live in.

Whether it is to make a difference for a family in a single house, a housing community or to change legislation, we all need to work jointly towards the same end, which is to achieve significant change.

Give me a call on 0273481110 to see how we can cooperate to design and build you a healthy resilient home.

Kia pai to ra (Have a nice day!)

Design and Make Architects is committed improving our built environment, both aesthetically and environmentally. Passive houses are sensible and cost-effective long term for the occupants. They encourage all their clients to at minimum have an energy model and cost analysis of various improvements. Elizabeth Guthrey is their in-house Certified Passive House Designer, with a house design in progress in Christchurch to be passive house certified.

Our hearts are where we can improve the quality of the daily living of an individual and support our local communities.

It is crucial for us to consider the impact of construction on the environment. We therefore put high effort into material selection and source, architectural detail and design which should work with the environment rather than going against it.

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.

WEL provides a range of services that can be tailored to meet the needs of many projects:
​
– Architectural Design
– Specialist Consulting
– Teaching & Upskilling for education & industry

Whether you’re a homeowner looking for an Architect, a designer looking to assess the performance of your project, an industry professional looking to up-skill and educate your team, or a developer looking for a knowledgeable and reliable consultant

WEL’s work seeks to balance budget, beauty and build-ability alongside health, performance and efficiency.

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.

Alki is a Chinook word from North America that connects us to our future. This is exactly why Alki has planted itself in Architecture – to build something that will outlast ourselves, knowing it will inspire future generations and leave the planet and its resources behind to service those to come.

Alki’s Architecture moulds itself to the human experience, placing it as a facilitator to make change for the greater good. Taking its place as a house, a home, and therefore our habitat – curating our emotions, our sense of place and our habits. Defining what it means to be human, and how we connect to each other, our communities and our ecosystems.

Architectus is an architecture and urbanism practice designing places and spaces tuned to their communities, context and culture. Advocates for integrated design, we apply a rigorous and tailored approach to create environments that are inspiring and enduring. For over 30 years, we have been realising innovative and bespoke projects around Aotearoa New Zealand, shaping precincts and campuses with people and sustainability at their heart. We believe architecture begins with a social agenda. It must nurture and grow communities and individuals, and enhance its neighbourhood and city. We believe in being judicious with natural resources. Environmentally sensitive architecture requires us to be energy-efficient and space-efficient, and to use low-carbon materials and ethically sourced products. This is a holistic approach that embeds our practice in a continuum of artistic and technical progress, so the architecture we are responsible for will be relevant for decades to come.
