Building Relationships

We know that our clients place great value in the working relationships we build with them. Taking time to understand their business needs and aspirations has resulted in a high proportion of repeat business.

We have been able to provide consistency to our clients through the longstanding directors who have developed a deep understanding of our client’s specific needs, expectations and aspirations.

Designing Value

Good Architecture adds value and our ambition is always to create value for our clients through good design, through increasing site viability, improving land values and creating a better living and built environment. We enjoy what we do and delight in seeing a finished project that works for the client, site and community.

We approach each project with an open mind. Our value lies in the ability to understand and exploit a specific site's constraints and opportunities.

Vinegar Lane Mixed Use

Grey Lynn, Auckland
670sqm

The Vinegar Lane project is for a small apartment building in a unique high-density urban neighbourhood. The project was subject to a special design panel as well as the usual Resource Consent process.

Two, two-bedroom apartments are located on each level above two commercial spaces, one with an extra high stud. The design uses concrete precast panels to solve both structural and fire issues avoiding the need for sprinklers. Over this is a perforated aluminium screen that gives the building a unique stature amongst the varied and visually rich streetscape. The screen has been carefully designed to achieve an exact balance of privacy, light and outlook.
