242am Architects LTD | Architects (NZIA | NZRAB) | A home for Jo & Colin: Palmerston North

http://www.242am.co.nz/jo-and-colin-home.html

A home for Jo and Colin. The long narrow site governed the linear plan punctuated with courtyards. This created sheltered outdoor living areas along with strong visual connections between spaces in the house. Traditional gable roof and stucco cladding are features borrowed from the surrounding built environment that seamlessly merged the new home with the existing street landscape.

242am Architects LTD | Architects (NZIA | NZRAB) | Interpretation of the New Zealand Villa (contemporary villa architectural design)

http://www.242am.co.nz/new-zealand-villa.html

Drawing inspiration from the New Zealand Villa flanking the street this design is our interpretation of a contemporary villa. The layout is governed by sun-shadow study to ensure all day sun to all living areas. The prominent tapering corner gable, random width weatherboards and colonnade entrance echo features of the villa. Ruahine Street, Palmerston North. Amplified by Loudhailer Design.

242am Architects LTD | Architects (NZIA | NZRAB) | Everybody House: Palmerston North

http://www.242am.co.nz/lincoln-terrace.html

Nestled amongst native trees this contemporary house draws its form through stylization of the surrounding gable top roofs. The materials adopted were meant to compliment the woody texture of the site and enhance the form of the building. Sitting on a 450sqm rear section the house is built in two levels to create outdoor living areas and landscaped courtyards. The design is thus an attempt to blend the modish with the conservative.

http://www.242am.co.nz/mirchess.html

Mirchee meaning ‘Chilli’ can have a dual role - one to spice up a curry and the other as a charm to ward off bad luck, when strung up with a lemon. It is this latter role that lead us to create a colourful brand for this takeaway. Simple graphics, vibrant colours and a functional layout contributed in creating this local Indian takeaway on a shoestring budget. Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North. Amplified by Loudhailer Design.

242am Architects LTD | Architects (NZIA | NZRAB) | Prefabricated Homes: New Zealand

http://www.242am.co.nz/prefabricated-homes.html

Prefabricated homes are built in a factory away from the final building site. As they are constructed in a controlled environment they provide builders greater control over quality and time, which are then translated as potential cost savings. These prefab homes also have the ability to be off grid generating their own power and harvesting rain water, thus providing an alternative to homes on farms and baches.

242am Architects LTD | Architects (NZIA | NZRAB) | Sun-Shadow Study

http://www.242am.co.nz/sun-shadow-study.html

One of the key principles of all our designs is to maximise sunlight. This is possible through tracing sun’s path across the site and accounting for shadows casted by surrounding objects and buildings. Armed with this basic understanding we can then create spaces to receive year round sun. Amplified by Loudhailer Design. Site photography by Brad Boniface.

242am Architects LTD | Architects (NZIA | NZRAB) | A Home for Brent and Lily: Palmerston North

http://www.242am.co.nz/brent-and-lily-home.html

This two-storey home in the heart of the city is designed to adapt to different phases of client’s life while accommodating all their personal and social activities. The 550sqm site is flanked by rental flats and a busy road. The challenge was to accommodate a 350sqm home on a tight urban section while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and ensuring all day sun. The boomerang shape plan that evolved from the sun-shadow study provided the ideal solution. Linton Street, Palmerston North.
