Over the years Herbst Architects have made a name for themselves and their distinctive architectural style. Here are 10 of our favourite houses by the award-winning duo
Lance and Nicola Herbst of Herbst Architects have become a regular feature in architectural magazines over the years.
After moving to New Zealand from South Africa over 20 years ago, the Herbsts have made a name for themselves for their mastery of lightweight timber baches. Their assemblages of feathery, diffuse, intricate structures effortlessly dissolve the boundaries between inside and out.
The application of their skill has resulted in a diverse range of responses, from their bare-bones beach shack on Great Barrier Island to the glassy, ethereal house in a pohutukawa grove beside Piha Beach. It’s no wonder this award-winning duo is known for creating some of New Zealand’s best architecture.
