Brief:

This project focused on materials used in the construction process in New Zealand, along with their history and examples of them being used in modern construction processes / situations.

Selection and specification of building materials and construction methods were documented in accordance with NZ standard 3604. The construction documents of the designed building informed the physical model which was constructed from balsa wood to exact scaled dimensions of a timber constructed house in New Zealand. The completion of this project provided knowledge about construction of small-scale buildings in the New Zealand context.

Work conducted at VUW (Personal portfolio).
