Tim Lovell & Ana O’Connell
Directors, Registered Architects ANZIA
A southerner at heart with a background in professional photography, Tim’s love of the New Zealand landscape always foregrounds his architectural thinking. His work focuses on innovative use of materials, humble poetics of construction and an intimate understanding of inhabitation.
Tim previously worked on a number of award-winning projects as project architect for Parsonson Architects.
Key for Ana is placing people, their daily rituals and their enjoyment of space at the heart of any design, whilst simultaneously connecting the design to its broader landscape and context.
Ana’s background has included working on celebrated and award-winning residential, institutional and education projects at Tennent + Brown and Jasmax architects.
