At JC House in Whanganui, the project focused on creating a practical and comfortable home for a young, growing family. The brief called for a careful balance between space, material selection, budget, and long-term energy performance.
BSM Group Architects designed a layout that supports busy family life, with well-organised living areas and efficient use of space. The design responds to the local climate, with consideration given to orientation, thermal comfort, and durability.
A restrained palette of materials and detailing allowed for a high-quality finish within a controlled budget. The result is a well-resolved family home that supports everyday living while maintaining a strong focus on value and performance.
