I purchased my house in 2015 (yes I was lucky... or did I create that luck?)
Getting organised to purchase 'House 2' since I finished all my renovations, I went to a property investors seminar to learn.
It saddened me to hear a developer proudly sharing that they are clearing orchards and building houses.
Houses. On the outskirts of the city. City spread. Land clearing. Not cool.
Then a little while later I was stopped at the traffic lights down at Brookfield on my way home. I glanced over to the corner site opposite New World and had a strong feeling of a beautiful building created for connection, wellness spaces, living spaces, working spaces, event spaces, eating spaces, education spaces, growing spaces.
This was a message from the Universe telling me I NEED to pay attention.
I said to the Universe 'okay, I see you chose me' so let's go.
Then the process began.
How about we build up instead? Why do we feel the need to build out when we already have a perfectly good site that already has been cleared?
There are plenty of old houses in town. Multiple old houses in close vacinity.
How about we use those sites instead? And build a beautiful apartment building to house SO MANY MORE PEOPLE than a few houses?
How about we create buildings that are SO BEAUTIFUL to just look at from the street outside that the very sight of them uplifts the soul of those onlookers?
What would life look like if our urban environment was built with our green space in mind? In the FOREFRONT of mind?
How much better would our spaces be if they were balanced and harmonised with layers of humanity, layers of connection, layers like Shrek? We all love onions. Or mandarins. We could grow those. People would gladly share an organic tree ripened mandarin on the rooftop, harvested from the tree that grows there.
So we have a site.
Not the one I originally found, although we could still build this there if Bennett Homes wants to collab!
We have an even better one.
And the project has grown in scope as well to suit the new site.
We are looking for investors and collaborators who want to get involved with this project early.
Time's a ticking.
YOLO .... I take that saying as an indication that You Only Live Once, so what you spend your time doing can be something meaningful that you can be proud of, and if you can achieve it in your one lifetime ... great! And if not, if it's a multi generational aspiration, you better have people lined up to continue your mission after your time.
So I'm creating while I'm here.
Come and create with me.
It'll be magical 💫
Thank you for your interest in our projects. We are currently working on a project that will lead the way in Urban Medium to High Density Design in New Zealand.
It's not a new idea, there are plenty of examples around the world but for some reason our clean green New Zealand seems to be a little slow on leading this space for our global community (& through our BnB I have found out that people pay attention & have been disappointed when they arrive in our country to find it is not as sustainable as they expected).
I propose we change that & keep our reputation for being clean & green 'alive' (see how I did that) 🌱
As professionals in the design & architecture space, we have a duty of care to the people who live in the spaces we create. This is where biophilic design comes in. We focus on creating a connection with nature through the living space that uplifts the spirit of the people in the spaces. We also use materials that have a low impact on the environment, & that are low toxin materials so that the health of the people living in the spaces is taken care of.
