"What's the storey- a Bio of work"
The Architects Room is a Bio of past & present work by Bevan Harris, a Wanaka local & registered Architect.
Having been raised on a beef & sheep station just outside Wanaka in Central Otago before venturing into architecture, Bevan has amassed some 20+ years working in architecture. Having gained both local & international experience Bevan has qualified as a registered Architect in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
New Zealand's climate & its many environmental factors play a key role in the way homes & buildings are designed & built. The extremes of both the winter & summer seasons present the Architect & Designer with a smorgasbord of design challenges that are unique to many areas throughout New Zealand.
The environment combined with sustainable design & energy efficient technologies play an important role in the design process. Understanding local environmental factors & how these relate to architecture ultimately influence how we choose to live inside & outside our homes.
Building materials & construction techniques are consistently evolving & the knowledge gained from international exposure gives Architects the ability to confidently investigate alternative materials & construction techniques & combine these with traditional construction methods.
