Cohost Matthew Cutler-Welsh interviews Karen Manson, Director of Meta Architects, a design-led practice in Christchurch specializing in high-performance building. Karen returned to New Zealand after gaining experience in a variety of projects in the UK. She completed Passive House training and established Meta Architects in 2015 and has recently been working alongside Pete Bielski of Ethos Homes (episode 13) to create Bushland Park, an inspiring community of passive house homes in an idyllic setting below the Port Hills of Canterbury.
