Ben and Karen with their kids, Noah and Hailie

Originally from South Africa, Ben and Karen came to New Zealand in 2007. In early 2015, the couple welcomed their son Noah into the world, and late in 2016 their daughter Hailie, cementing their love for the Blenheim way of life. Part of their passion for Blenheim is the need for designs which embrace the sunny, relaxed aesthetic of the region – combining lifestyle and sustainability.
A professional member of Architectural Designers New Zealand, Ben is required to hold a recognised professional qualification and to undertake regular professional development. Ben is also a registered Licensed Building Practitioner carrying a Design 2 License.
