Behind the scenes Kumeu

This is a fly over of the house during it’s development in the concept stages. Creating these enabled’s us to make informed decisions about what to change about the building with it’s functionality and aesthetics. We noticed that the heights of doors were to low and that window sizing needed to change. We knew we were on to the right thing with the pitch of roof line looking fantastic.

These images are part of what informs the structure behind the design. A pictorial glimpse at how the design evolves and develops. With the aid of cad software we are able to design to detail and use every last millimeter.

Architectural floor plan with labeled rooms and annotations for revisions, including bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, office, living area, kitchen, pantry, and outdoor spaces. Notes specify modifications like storage addition, wall heights, and room dimensions.
