Info | INLINE Render Facility

Concept Renders are such a powerful tool for architecture. They are a visual representation of our design in a way which clients are able to understand the scale, context, lighting and intent of our design.

There are many benefits in producing a set of concept renders for a project which include;

  1. Brainstorming - A render is a graphic base for clients and staff to interpret the design and create, plan and develop methods or alternate layouts that best suit the scope of the project.
  2. Understanding - Renders set the expectation and understanding for how a design will come together. This includes colour palette, materiality, joinery design and overall aesthetic. It also aids our joinery factory to grasp the level of finish we are seeking.
  3. Project Management & Cohesion - The inclusion of renders within our process means we can refer to decisions made throughout the build while also referring to the images as a project goal. They can bring multiple spaces within the design together in a comparative exercise ensuring a consistent aesthetic throughout the home.

Our Render Facility here at INLINE is capable of generating a series of quality images which demonstrate the design possibilities of your space.

Get in touch with us today about how we can bring your vision into reality.

If you're keeping a keen eye on our website, you'll know of the beginnings of the Waitoa Renovation.

We are very excited to document Marie & Fraser's journey in a 3 part video series coming to you as this project unfolds.

We know it can be a daunting time but INLINE has walked this road many times before and we will walk it again with you.

Info | The Double Gazing & Insulation Comparative

In our line of work we often meet people who have intended to invest in double glazing for their home. While double glazing is now a Building Code requirement, its not the silver bullet for existing and period homes that you might think.

When we talk double glazing we will use "R-Values" to describe their Thermal Resistance. Sometimes this can be a little confusing so just think of it in dollars and cents!

The R-Value of a single glazed window is $0.19 cents. If it was double glazed $0.39 cents. If you then compare this to a wall (cladding, framing, insulation & GIB), you'll be looking at $2.00 - That's a big jump right!?

Double glazing can be a significant investment in your property so before you commit to it, think about how your home could work better for you and if this may affect the window locations or layouts.

Windows are one home item that you should do it once and do it right!

Consumer NZ has a great article that explores alternate methods of heat retention, diagrams and comparatives.

Info | Buying a Home in Wellington? Do your Due Diligence.

Unfortunately it's not uncommon for Agents or Inspectors to gloss over details to ensure the best sale price of a property.

While walking the path to purchasing in Wellington, be informed and collect as much information as you can.

See some links below to useful websites that offer a range of information:

Wellington Web Maps: Search the property address to discover the Wind Zone, Flood Zone and Drainage Map.

Wellington City District Plan: Search the property address to understand the Assigned Precinct , Height Restrictions, Noise Zones, View Corridors and other Significant Designations.

Greater Wellington Regional Council - Shaky Ground: Search the property to determine which Shaky Ground [Earthquake] Zone the property falls within.

If you're getting serious about making an offer, don't hesitate to order the building archives for the property from the Wellington City Council - Building Consent Search website. Its a $60.00 investment that can uncover some interesting information - good and bad!

Get ahead of the game and be informed.
