Great homes and buildings start with products designed for the place we call home. We believe New Zealand made is about using local knowledge, local experience and local manufacturing to support better building outcomes across New Zealand.

When homeowners Susan and Burke were weighing up their retirement options, neither was ready to leave the view behind from their 1880s hillside home in Whakatū Nelson. Instead, they chose to build on a steep, narrow section within their existing garden - staying connected to the outlook and neighbourhood they loved.

Director of JTB Architects, Simon Hall created them a compact, future-ready home with a strong connection to both landscape and light. A central courtyard sits at the heart of the home with the rest of the house wrapping around it in a trapezium, stretching wide across the sea-facing front before tapering into the hillside.

Hello from sunny Brisbane! 🌞
This year, we took our annual APL National Conference across the Tasman to Australia. It was a fantastic few days filled with sharing industry insights, showcasing product updates, and catching up face-to-face. A huge thank you to all our manufacturers who joined us and made it another memorable conference.

What an inspiring three days at in:situ 2026 + CAA General Assembly. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand and took the time to talk through the opportunities and challenges facing architecture and the wider building industry.

There was plenty to take in across the programme, with speakers sharing perspectives on urban architecture, environmental building approaches, restoration, community-based projects across Australia and the South Pacific and the industry through an economist’s lens, alongside wider discussion around sustainable, durable material choices.

It was also a proud moment for our wider team to have APL’s Philip Negus open the event, with Lachlan Stanton from AGP closing the programme.

For our team, the event reinforced the value of engaging early and working closely with architects and specifiers - not simply to supply products, but to help identify practical window and door solutions for better-performing buildings and more considered architectural outcomes.

Thanks again to the NZIA, CAA, speakers, attendees and everyone involved in bringing the event together.

We were pleased to be part of Constructive 2026 as a Gold Sponsor. The two-day event brought valuable perspective on the forces shaping New Zealand’s building and construction sector. For APL, it was a chance to connect with building industry professionals from around the country and hear about the challenges and opportunities builders are facing.

Thank you to everyone who spoke with the APL team over the two days. We appreciated the opportunity to share what we’re working on, hear more about the projects ahead, and be part of a forum focused on the future of New Zealand’s building industry.
