We'd like to invite you to our special 'Meet the Architects' evening we're holding in conjunction with our Home of the Year partners Altherm Window Systems in Auckland on Wednesday October 31st (yes, we know it's Halloween; no, the architects won't be spooky).

The details:

We'll serve drinks at 6pm, then you'll be able to hear HOME editor Jeremy Hansen in conversation with the following excellent architects, who will talk about recent and future projects. The whole event will be a little over an hour long, is open to everyone. It promises to be a fascinating evening.

2. DAVE STRACHAN, STRACHAN GROUP ARCHITECTS
Dave is an accomplished architect, former builder, and teacher at Auckland's Unitec, where the bach he created in collaboration with last year's architecture students was a finalist in our 2012 Home of the Year award (below, photographed by Simon Devitt). He'll talk about this year's student project (a social housing initiative) plus a number of the other fascinating projects and beautiful homes his firm has under development.  



3. LANCE AND NICOLA HERBST, HERBST ARCHITECTS
The husband-and-wife architecture team will talk about the development of 'Under Pohutukawa', the unforgettable 2012 Home of the Year (below, photographed by Patrick Reynolds), as well as their approach to light, space and craft.
