Graduate Development

By Nicola on 31st July 2016

Recently Nickolas, Max and Marischka went on a course to get an introduction into the registration process of becoming a Registered Architect.  The course gave them some great ideas and enthusiasm about pursuing a career as a Registered Architect as the speakers, from a variety of practices imparted their knowledge and experience on our young graduates.  Our clients can begin to take advantage of the new skill sets our three graduates have brought back from this course and the the extended capacity for services Hurley Architects can provide.

NZIA Conference

By Marischka on 13 Feb 2017

Earlier this month a number of our employees went along to the NZIA In:situ conference in Auckland.  It was a moving and inspiring event with speakers from all over the world who integrated both the physical and theoretical practices of architecture. Their work ranged from a conservative nature, to those who took risks and tried to break the norm, finding ways to sustain communities, encourage medium density housing and the carefree lifestyle.  Here is a link to the speakers - I hope that it will spark your interest as much as it did ours - http://www.insitu.nzia.co.nz ...

BRANZ Roofing Seminar

By Henry Mullaly on 31-10-2016

Members of the design team attended the BRANZ Answers seminar on membrane roofing last week.  The seminar was well presented and attended by a wide cross section of architects/builders and related trades.  Membrane roofing has maintained a reputation for being complex and prone to failure.  Low and zero sloped roofs do not allow rainfall to move as quickly away from the roof surface as compared to traditional pitched roof constructions.  The aesthetic counterpoint to this however is that traditional pitched roofs dominate the geometry of a building above its walls.  Well constructed membrane roof surfaces allow the designer greater flexibility to design outside the form required for pitched roofs.  Apart from a...
