Lin House by Daniel Marshall Architects
Adaptability and a sense of privacy and retreat were essential requirements in the design of Lin House, a 330m² home on a tight suburban site within a neighbourhood of ’60s houses.
Daniel Marshall Architects believe architecture is a ‘generalist’ profession which engages with all components of an architectural project; during conceptual design, documentation and construction phases. We pride ourselves on being able to holistically engage with a complex of architectural issues to arrive at a design solution equally appropriate to its context (site and surrounds) and the unique ways our clients prefer to live.
The focus of the practice is to provide a personalised architectural response to individual clients. It has been a successful collaboration over the years resulting in many design awards and many more clients whose expectations were exceeded.
Daniel Marshall leads a core team of talented designers involved in a wide array of design projects. The emphasis is on attaining a high degree of resolution while developing the design to ensure a smooth and efficient construction process. Because the practice utilises state of the art technological processes, visualisation of the architecture is easily accessible to both client and builder.

Adaptability and a sense of privacy and retreat were essential requirements in the design of Lin House, a 330m² home on a tight suburban site within a neighbourhood of ’60s houses.
DMA were approached by the clients after seeing another of our houses. Their site was a 600m2 recently subdivided site, with a rather unusual road frontage in that it was tucked below Upland Road and serviced by a feeder alley way.
The clients were a family living abroad that commissioned us to design a holiday home that included a 20m pool as they wished to form a connection back to their native Aotearoa.
Jeremy and Emma approached Daniel Marshall Architects late in 2015 after they had recently purchased a 1970’s St Heliers house designed by the architect, Robert Railley, for his own family home.
