CPRW Architects, invited by Dr. Amirhosein Ghaffarianhoseini, delivered a guest talk to undergrad final-year students at AUT University on Thursday, 07-March-2019 - (16:00-18:00) @ WS 315.

Peta Drayton 
Associate

Having had 2 stints, and a total of 11 years, living and working in London, I returned to New Zealand in 2013. I’ve been lucky enough to work with a huge variety of people – clients, consultants and colleagues – which has made my 20 years in architectural practice enlightening and always entertaining.
Both in the UK and in NZ I have had the opportunity to work on a range of fantastic projects from larger scale commercial buildings and a house for a premier league footballer, to retail and corporate fitouts and multi-unit residential developments.
I love to travel, but in NZ you will find me doing DIY projects, sailing and occasionally dabbling in a new interest in fishing…. all of which need to fit around playing as much tennis as possible.

Luciano Velocci 

Ciao. In the 9 years since I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree, I have been involved in all stages of commercial interior design projects from inception through to completion, including functional briefing, envisioning workshops, space planning, developed design documentation and construction observation. I’m believe that I am a proven problem solver and am passionate about achieving high quality design solutions which support client objectives.

Jerome Partington

Sustainability Manager - Associate Principal

Practice Services, Auckland

Jerome is passionate about the environment and has long been an advocate for sustainability. Focused on finding sustainable solutions that meet people’s needs without undermining our society or the bio-system, Jerome is one of the leading sustainability specialists in the country.

He has worked in architectural practice and education for twenty years, with a strong practical construction and technology emphasis. Experience includes many building reuse projects, ecological based design and solar design. He has a wealth of experience in ‘eco’ building materials and systems. His first six years at Jasmax were spent delivering projects in the healthcare, commercial and cultural sectors. Since then he has been developing a strategic, goal led approach to sustainable design and practice, that helps remove barriers and obstacles to success.

As an NZGBC Accredited Professional Jerome offers specific support and advice on Green Star projects and engages in project reviews using JEMS, recently certified to ISO 14001. He provided the sustainable design framework and guided the team to solutions for Te Uru Taumatua, the Tuhoe headquarters, which is targeting Living Building Challenge certification. This will be NZ’s most advanced restorative/ sustainable project.

Jerome‘s role as Sustainability Manager is to ensure Jasmax's designs realise their potential for sustainable outcomes by using the innovative Integrated Sustainable Design (ISD) process which uses a systems world view to optimise outcomes, rather than traditional silo approach. He facilitates ISD sessions to “turbo-charge” projects to ensure it delivers sustainable outcomes.
