Post Postal
Enhancing the surrounding community through adaptive reuse
In addition to the community space, additional apartments have also been constructed on top of the chosen site. While the apartment ‘pods’ position provides luxury-level views of the Auckland CBD, its primary goal is to provide housing for the growing population of Birkenhead. These pods are modular by design, as they are built offshore and can be implemented in other locations that face similar housing issues. Furthermore, they can also be removed from its premises without altering the original forms of the existing buildings.

Residential Design JDA Studio Garage Conversion
Converting an existing garage into a multipurpose living space
The clients want to provide extra living quarters for temporary living. The space had to offer the necessary amenities to be self-sufficient from the main house while retaining a double garage space. The room could also be rearranged for other uses if it is not used as a living space. Based on the client’s wishes, the extension is wrapped with vertical timber battens, which would mask the garage opening and hide the windows. Furthermore, the cladding would extend to the front door, accentuating the entry.
