We engaged Nives Robinson, director of IRP Architects, shortly after placing a deposit on the vacant land. After meeting with us to understand our needs and desires she produced a number of concept drawings which we reviewed while standing on the block. We loved the first concept Nives showed to us and, although the final design underwent some finessing, it essentially remained intact. Every day we wake up and enjoy the feeling provided by the open plan living, light large spaces and panoramic views of the trees and hills.
