Graeme North

I am a specialist in the design of earth and other natural buildings with over 5 decades of experience with commissions throughout New Zealand and abroad.

In 2021 I  relocated from Warkworth to the Tasman District, Te Waipounamu, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Over my career I have received various  awards, including being appointed a Member of the NZ Order of Merit for Services to architecture and  natural building standards in the 2020 New Years Honours. 

I specialise in natural building that uses mud brick or adobe, cob and other earth building methods, strawbale building, earthen and lime plasters, other natural materials, while incorporating appropriate technology.

While I now have retired from active design work, I am available to be consulted on the appropriate use of earth and other natural building materials in their design, construction,  maintenance and repair.
