Thinking about designing your own home from scratch? It’s an exciting journey one where you get to create a space that truly reflects your vision, lifestyle, and the unique beauty of Central Otago. At Scott Ede Design, we’re here to help bring that dream to life, working with you every step of the way to design a home that’s not just visually stunning, but also functional, sustainable, and perfectly suited to its surroundings.
A Balance of Form and Function
Great architectural design is about more than just looks. It’s about creating a space that flows effortlessly, making the most of natural light, maximising comfort, and ensuring that every element serves a purpose. The goal is to design a home that not only fits your lifestyle but also enhances it. Whether you want open-plan living areas for entertaining, a cozy retreat for relaxation, or a mix of both, we tailor our designs to suit your needs.
We focus on integrating your home with its surroundings, making the most of natural light, framing the best views, and using materials that complement the local environment. Whether it’s a modern design with large glass panels to capture the scenery or a rustic aesthetic that blends seamlessly into the landscape, we ensure your home feels like it belongs.

A Collaborative Process
Your home should be a reflection of you. That’s why we take a collaborative approach, working closely with you to understand what you want to achieve. We’ll discuss:
Your space: How much room do you have, and how do you want to use it?
Your lifestyle: What’s important to you in a home? Entertaining spaces, energy efficiency, or low-maintenance living?
Your aesthetic: Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or something more classic and timeless, we’ll design to your taste.
Your budget: We’ll help you make the most of your investment, balancing quality, functionality, and design.
From initial sketches to final plans, we’re with you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process.
Materials That Matter
The materials you choose play a huge role in both the look and performance of your home. Central Otago’s climate hot summers, cool winters, and sometimes harsh conditions means selecting durable, high-quality materials is essential.
We’ll help you explore options that suit your design while also considering sustainability, energy efficiency, and longevity. Whether it’s locally sourced stone, timber for warmth and character, or modern finishes for a sleek touch, we guide you through the selection process to ensure the perfect fit.
