The future of housing isn’t just about building more of the same: it’s about radically re-thinking how we live and the types of housing we build, all while thinking sustainably about our future. Despite being more common overseas, co-housing is still a relatively new concept in New Zealand – but growing fast. Learn about how co-housing works, the benefits of this way of living, and how architects across Aotearoa are building new co-housing developments.
After graduating and completing his professional registration in Auckland in 1998 Thom headed for London. For 8 years he was fortunate to work for several award-winning offices on a variety of arts projects culminating in the extensive refurbishment of the National Theatre Studio. In 2006 he moved to Copenhagen and after a first year of learning Danish worked as an architect there for 4 years, including a couple of tours in Beijing. Thom returned to New Zealand in 2012 and co-founded Studio Nord.
