PLAN B | Architecture is an architectural practice based in Saint Albans, Ōtautahi Christchurch, working on new buildings and deep energy retrofits across Aotearoa New Zealand. The practice is led by Ben, a Certified Passive House Designer and Homestar Assessor with more than twenty-five years of experience here and overseas.
The practice says every project is shaped by site, climate, budget and clients' goals. Services include concept and detailed design for new buildings, and deep energy retrofit work. Designs begin with how buildings sit in the landscape, how light moves through them and how they are put together, progressing to low-carbon, high-performance and Passive House approaches when a project calls for it.
Clients make contact by appointment and the practice offers a no-obligation initial chat about projects. That first conversation typically covers site constraints, performance aims and budget so the practice can shape an appropriate design response. Communication focuses on translating client goals into practical design decisions that respond to local climate and site conditions.
What distinguishes PLAN B | Architecture locally is its combination of long experience, formal Passive House and Homestar credentials, and an explicit emphasis on climate-responsive, low-carbon solutions. Projects are described as starting from ordinary, site-led considerations and moving to high-performance outcomes only when the brief and budget require those approaches.
