Potential Architecture - Catherine Ford

Catherine's practice based in New Plymouth, has a strong focus on sustainable, high performance buildings to create a better future for all.

She is a Certified Passive House Designer, so efficiencies can be imparted into the design process right from the start, where benefits from orientation, form and solar gains are optimised.

Catherine has been living and working between Europe and New Zealand for the last 20- years, so has a unique perspective on built environment, diverse climatic and cultural responses. She has worked on institutional, retails, residential and commercial builds. From small scale tiny bathrooms, emergency housing in shipping containers, to large scale urban development proposals.

All her work is 3D modelled for her clients, so they can feel confident they know their design intimately before developing it further.
