Projects

Sustainable
Apartment

A full condominium renovation guided by sustainability, health, and liveability from day one. Delivered using an Integrated Project Delivery model — with the full team collaborating from the earliest stages of design through to handover.

The result is a home that accommodates the full complexity of modern living while using materials that are genuinely healthier, more durable, and more considered than standard renovation practice allows.

The island countertop was milled from reclaimed ash sourced from Mick's own property — one of the more personal material choices in this portfolio.

Goodlot
Brewery

A working horse barn converted into a solar-powered, high-performance craft brewery — built to Passive House standards with airtight construction, super-insulated walls and roof, and a deep focus on reducing embodied carbon throughout.

The existing barn structure was salvaged in full, dramatically reducing the upfront carbon cost of the project. New materials were selected for recycled content, low carbon intensity, and durability. Pro Clima membranes, dense-pack cellulose insulation, and smart vapour control were combined to create a durable, high-performance building envelope — built from the inside out.

Delivered using an integrated design model in collaboration with architects ERA, engineers Revive and ZON, and building science specialists 475. This project was featured in a 475 Building Science case study as an example of outstanding sustainable construction practice.

Ravine
Residence

A modern high-performance home built at the edge of a natural ravine. The project demanded the highest level of craft, coordination, and attention to detail across every trade and every finish.

Every material was considered, every detail was deliberate, and the finished result reflects a team that cared deeply about the outcome and the client.

Urban Heritage
Retrofit

A full renovation and rear addition to an existing character home, combining heritage restoration with a deeply considered approach to sustainable construction.

The project balanced two priorities: preserving the warmth and architectural character of the original home, while creating a healthier, more comfortable and lower-impact living environment for modern family life.

The result is a home that feels both grounded and renewed — with restored timber detailing, reclaimed materials, natural finishes, high-performance windows and a strawbale addition designed with Passive House principles in mind.

Melrose
House

A unique contemporary residence built for a doctor and his family, combining refined architectural detailing with a strong focus on comfort, durability, material responsibility and long-term performance.

The home brought together natural timber, custom steelwork, high-performance building systems, green roofs, water recycling, geothermal heating and cooling, solar PV and carefully detailed interior finishes.

While the home has a distinctly modern architectural language, the construction was grounded in practical sustainability — using reclaimed materials, responsible timber products, efficient systems and a careful approach to comfort and liveability.
