Architecting Sustainability

In this episode, we speak to the talented and grounded Wellington, New Zealand-based architect Hugh Tennent. If you’re interested in design. If you’ve ever felt there was something special in the spaces here at Aro Ha Wellness Retreat, or if you’re in the process of designing something yourself, then this is your episode. Permaculture-based, net zero energy, passive Haus inspired, localised, biophilic, and resilient, Aro Ha was an ambitious project. Hugh and Damian have a candid conversation about why Aro Ha was an interesting project for him to undertake. Hugh also connects the link between internal practice, design, and architecture, his journey in spirituality and business, his opinions on the future of building standards in NZ, and suggestions on how you, whether in your current home or new build, can artfully craft your space to tread lighter on the Earth. In the end, you will feel relaxed just listening to Hugh speak. What a pleasure, enjoy. See Full Show Notes⁠⁠⁠⁠ Here ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.aro-ha.com⁠
