Green Sheep CollectiveMagnolia Soul is a warm, robust, family and pet friendly home in Fairfield. The house sits alongside a stunning, mature magnolia tree views to which are intentionally framed by the roof structure, through a high angled window and bay window seat. The generous and versatile window seat creates a lovely place to relax, read a book, spend time with family or sit on the edge of the garden.

Coty ConstructionThis customer chose Trex Select decking in Pebble Grey with a white Westbury rail. They finished off the railing with a Pebble Grey top so their guests can enjoy setting their drink on the railing. They will have many years with friends and family on this great looking low maintenance deck.
POCO Building SuppliesA simple email inquiry turned into a great experience. I had contacted several companies in search of Tigerwood decking and POCO Building Supplies was the only one able to meet my needs.
My list of questions was answered quickly, but it was the details in the thoughtful, knowledgeable answers that impressed me most. I was given very good, very real advice on how I could stay within my budget without compromising the look or feel of my project. The price was where it needed to be to make me feel good about my purchase, and delivery was on time, as promised. Our deck project turned out amazing, it looks high-end and my family and I cannot wait for warm weather to enjoy it!
What else can I say? I wish we had a POCO Building Supplies in Langley.
Granit Architects + InteriorsThis small but complex project saw the creation of a terrace above an existing flat roof of a property in Battersea Square.
We were appointed to design and prepare a scheme to submit for planning permission. We were able to successfully achieve consent to extend the roof terrace and to create approximately 100 square metres of extra space. The process was protracted and required negotiation with the local authority to restrict any overlooking potential. The solution to this challenge was to create a design with two parts connected by a 1m wide walkway. We also introduced planting in front of the glazing that controls the overlooking without the need for sandblasted glass. This combination of glazing and planting has made a significant difference to the final feel of space on the terrace.
Our design creates separate zones on the terrace, with sections for living, dining and cooking. We also changed the windows in the penthouse to sliding folding doors, which has created a much more functional and spacious feeling terrace.
We had to work closely with the structural engineer to work out the best way to create a deck structure over the existing roof. Ultimately the design required large long-spanning steels supported by the load-bearing walls below. An infill deck structure supports the terrace too. There was significant technical coordination required with glass balustrade company to achieve the right finish.
The terrace would not have been complete without a great garden. We worked in partnership with garden designer Richard Miers, who specified the planted beds, water features, planting, irrigation system and lighting.
Overall we have created a beautiful terrace for our client with approximately 100 square metres of extra living space.
Creative ArchThis new home in Riverhead sits on the bank of the Rangitopuni Stream, looking out over the water and native riparian bush. The client’s brief was to build a new three bedroom home on a vacant site, featuring a living wing with a focus on the views across the stream and indoor/outdoor living.
A single storied ‘H’ shaped floor plan was developed around a central courtyard. This provides ample opportunity to capture views and light from various internal spaces, while maintaining complete privacy between neighbours.

Dawson & Clinton3119 Harrison Street consists of two contemporary, 3,000 square foot homes near San Francisco’s Mission District. The project involved excavating the lot 12 feet below ground level to make room for a shared six car underground garage, and two subterranean residences.
The town homes were designed with a modern and clean approach, utilizing light wood tones and a minimalistic style. Both homes were thoughtfully designed to maximize space efficiency, allowing residents to live comfortably in an urban setting where space is always at a premium.
To make the most of the residence's outdoor space courtyards and rooftop decks were also created as a space for entertaining.
