Once these have been discussed and approved, 3D plans are generated using ArchiCAD software. Iconic Architecture takes final designs through the complex building consent process to ensure projects proceed smoothly. The Iconic Architecture team also works collaboratively with other industry professionals, such as kitchen and bathroom designers, to achieve the best outcomes for clients. Iconic Architecture has been careful to avoid becoming associated with a particular style of architecture. Andrew says it would be wrong for him to impose his aesthetics on others. “For me, it does boil down to the client, the style they like, what they need and the site. We have done everything from ultra-modern townhouses through to very classic homes with steep pitched roofing and gable ends. We find our clients are always very open to new products and ideas.” With today’s shift towards urban intensification, Andrew says it is important that individual needs and preferences continue to be valued and respected. “My goal is to create homes that people will be proud of and that will add value to a neighbourhood. “That means designing for form and function and using quality materials that will last and don’t need to be maintained every few years.” Reclaimed & Sustainably Sourced Australian Hardwoods Proudly supporting Iconic Architecture 021 398 800 martin@lmatimber.co.nz www.lmatimber.co.nz Cladding • Decking • Structural Beams / Posts – Flooring
