My Life

Gordon Carl Dalkie  -  Director / Sole Practitioner

Being born in a small farming community on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island has been a major influence on my life and architectural philosophy strongly identifying with the Land and valuing self reliant individual thinking. I have lived and worked in New Zealand's 4 main cities, bringing up my family in Christchurch but still having connections to 'the Coast'
