Herbst
by Murray Crane
New Zealand has always been blessed with world-class architectural practices. Our expansive and desolate landscapes demand it. Among the very best is Herbst Architects. This New Zealand-based architecture firm is renowned for its innovative and environmentally conscious designs, often blending modern architecture with natural landscapes.
Founded by Lance and Nicola Herbst, the firm has gained international recognition for creating residential homes that harmonise with the surrounding environment, particularly in remote coastal settings. Their work emphasises sustainable building practices, the use of natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Herbst Architects' portfolio showcases a unique combination of elegant simplicity and functionality, earning them multiple awards and a respected place in the contemporary architectural scene.
Now, a new book showcases their work, featuring photographs by well-known architectural photographers Patrick Reynolds, Simon Devitt, Jackie Meiring, Sam Hartnett, and Simon Wilson.
