We'd like to invite you to our special 'Meet the Architects' evening we're holding in conjunction with our Home of the Year partners Altherm Window Systems in Auckland on Wednesday October 31st (yes, we know it's Halloween; no, the architects won't be spooky).

He'll talk about this year's student project (a social housing initiative) plus a number of the other fascinating projects and beautiful homes his firm has under development.  

 

3. LANCE AND NICOLA HERBST, HERBST ARCHITECTS

The husband-and-wife architecture team will talk about the development of 'Under Pohutukawa', the unforgettable 2012 Home of the Year (below, photographed by Patrick Reynolds), as well as their approach to light, space and craft.
