Mercury Bay Design Back In Print
18 Dec 2007
| If your looking for an interesting read over the Christmas break, pick yourself up a copy of Issue 21 of Homestyle magazine. Turn to page 68 and you will find an article on one of my designs that was recently built in Flaxmill Bay. Homestyle used my photos for the piece which provides further insight into another successful project. |

NZGBC Workshop
9 Oct 2007
Great workshop held in Auckland on Friday with a wide range of
interested parties. We heard a speaker from Beacon Pathways and
an engineer gave an overview of the Five Mile project in Queenstown.
We also watched a DVD of Dockside Green, a sustainable development
in Canada, and finished up with small group discussion on what
we want to see in the Green Star Residential Rating Tool and specifically
whether context should be given any rating. A well attended event
and well worth being a part of.
NZGBC to begin developing Green Star Residential
30 Sept 2007
On Friday I will sit in on the first workshop to begin development of a residential rating tool for New Zealand. Our situation is somewhat different to the Australian one in that Australia has so many residential rating tools (most developed by different levels of Government) the Australian Green Building Council have said it will be some time before they look at Green Star for Homes. Whereas in New Zealand it is one of the big holes. While there have been initiatives taken in the past by various agencies, it is the hope of the NZGBC to co-ordinate these strategies in one rating tool. More after the workshop.
