Resume
Stephen has worked in the architectural field for over 10 years now on
a range of projects both residential and commercial. His career
started in the largest architectural firm in New Zealand Jasmax
Architects where he was exposed to the country’s top architects and
award winning design.
Later he joined a young developing architectural firm under the
talented leadership of owner/architect Ricky Do. Enjoying his time
there, Stephen wanted the freedom to try self employment and
started his own company Relative Space which specialised in
residential design and draughting. Learning how a business worked
and listening to clients needs were the reward for putting in hard
work.
While self employed, friends of Stephen’s where running their own
successful construction company Hutchison Builders. Hutchison
Builders recommended Relative Space to their clients when they
needed design or draughting of their projects. Eventually Hutchisons
supplied the majority of work for Relative Space and asked Stephen
to join their team.

Creating a
community
hub was the
main thrust of
the brief.
Brief: To create a central area where the diverse community can come together and enjoy a place of
learning and communication.
Solution: As part of a team working at Jasmax Architects a design was conceived that accommodated
new technology, interactive ways of learning and a modern take on a polyenesian themed facade.
Working under a Project Architect, design and working drawings were produced that had to satisfy a
number of different clients & boards. Throughout the job we were able to adapt the design and solve
any issues that arose from site. A successful project featured in Architecture New Zealand Magazine.
Main Contractor: Hawkins Construction.

Cliff Top Perch S t a n l e y P o i n t , D e v o n p o r t
Brief: After purchasing the property next door, the client wanted to create a harmonious link
between his current abode and proposed new landscaped gardens to enjoy the stunning views.
Solution: As the existing house (pictured) required an upgrading of the decks, handrails, some
internal work & re-cladding, this was a perfect opportunity to modify and link these into the newly
acquired neighbouring site. An old home was demolished to make way for new gardens and
lookout areas and new decks were added to provide access via living areas and lower outdoor
entertainment decks. Two underground concrete tanks were installed with an electronic watering
system to maintain the gardens and a 30m long overflow outlet was drilled diagonally through
the cliff. Alterations by: Hutchison Builders.

Brief: Draw up plans for a new subdivision using four base
designs and re-using them on multiple sites adjusting each
design to suit site specific conditions.
Solution: Each site was assessed in determining which
design would compliment the contours and position of the
land. Some had to allow for the view, some for the orientation
of the sun and privacy from the road. Once the design was
selected, the floor plans & elevations were modified to the suit
and plans were drawn up and submitted to council. Several
homes were built in total.

Remuera Villa Renovation R e m u e r a V i l l a L i v i n g
Brief: This period Villa required some internal and external changes to
make it satisfy the requirements of a young family & make the most of
the north facing aspect.
Solution: After considering a new layout based upon how the family
used the current spaces, it was decided to remove some key walls to
create a new family room that could sprawl out onto the sun drenched
decks. The new family room was once the old bathroom but needed to
be relocated. A wall was removed between the new family room and
existing kitchen to create one large open plan ‘hub’ for the home. This
ensured a feeling of space, and allowed access to enjoy the back yard.

Brief: To design and provide
working drawings for a cost
effective three bedroom home to
be built as an investment
property on a subdivided site
with existing home.
Solution: The steeply sloping
site required a simple design to
keep costs down as the pole
foundations needed to be seven
metres deep and bridge a
council drain. The design
incorporates 3 bedrooms with the
future option of closing them off
from the living areas by adding a
hallway. Built by BG Projects.

Born Again N o r t h c o t e P o i n t B u n g a l o w
R e s i d e n t i a l A l t e r a t i o n s
Brief: To increase the living areas & kitchen downstairs and create a new
upper floor master bedroom to utilise the harbour views.
Solution: The existing house was joined at the boundary to another property
as an older style duplex. Being in a Heritage zone meant there were a number
of resource consent/heritage issues that needed to be addressed.
The exterior facade had to remain in context with the existing while
incorporating newer features such as aluminium bi-fold joinery and glass
balustrading to the new balcony and decks. This project currently has
Resource Consent & due to be built shortly.

Brief: To design a new home with the key to the brief being that it was
to have a ‘touch of difference’ from a typical home and finished to a
fixed budget.
Solution: Simple yet effective external materials were selected with a
‘natural’ look being the desired outcome. The client liked contemporary
monopitch roof lines so this was incorporated into the design and set
the tone for the rest of the building shape and form. Open plan living
was a must with most social gathering taking place in and around the
kitchen. This project is currently at tender.

Brief: To create a larger feel to the upper level of this bungalow as outdoor living space at
the ground level was limited.
Solution: Insert French doors into an existing opening from the lounge and build a large
timber deck to utilise the sun and vista view to the city. The clients loved the result of this
deck and it greatly improved the value of the property.

Pool Side Living S c n a p p e r R o c k S u b d i v i s i o n
Brief: To create a modern home with an emphasis on convenient outdoor living especially in summer.
Solution: With the site sloping steeply, the obvious solution was to create a split level house and retain a large portion of the site. This enabled the lower portion to be levelled for more usable space. A practical position for the pool & spa was directly against the
house. This gave a point of difference for the property and a relaxing feel to the design. It was also important to create a ‘soft’ front facade (south elevation) to the home as the new
subdivision was already well built up.

Room For The Family

Brief: To complete the home by building the ground floor level including a double internal garage, rumpus room, bathroom, laundry and stairwell. The home was to be regularly visited by other family and friends for short term stays. Solution: The client already had in mind the scope of works so it was a matter of arranging these into the best locations. Because we needed more length in the garage to fit the boat, it was decided to build out under the deck. This required a retro-fitted internal gutter and weathering details. The garage has internal access to an entry foyer from which you can proceed upstairs or into the new living/rumpus area. Another bathroom was added to the downstairs area for convenience and the laundry shifted into the new internal garage.

R e s i d e n t i a l K i t c h e n s / A l t e r a t i o n s
Brief: The client wanted a new link between the lounge and kitchen to make the house feel larger and separate off the bedrooms by closing off the hallway. Solution: After the original access which ran through the old kitchen was closed off, this enabled a new wider floor to ceiling opening to be created beside the kitchen and link through to the lounge. This allowed the new kitchen to be larger and more convenient as now the traffic to the living room and bedrooms had been re-directed around the kitchen. Alteration by: Hutchison Builders.
