Why RotoSpace?
Design from the inside out.
RotoSpace exists because too many people are priced out of good design — and forced to choose between affordability and comfort. We believe you shouldn’t have to.
The name comes from “roto” the Te reo Māori word for “within.” ROTOspace is about designing from the inside out — starting with your needs, your values, your lifestyle — and shaping space around that. Great homes aren't about size. They're about intention.
Testimonials
Our new Passive House design has been completed by Lesley England. We have had an easy time communicating with Lesley, something we feel is vital as an architect. We would happily recommend Lesley of eco habitats Ltd to anyone wanting the personal touch in their designer.
Vicki Galea
We decided to renovate a rental property. Make it open plan, get rid of passage areas and walls and make spaces more usable. We were given amazing suggestions and advice and were so impressed with Lesley's ability that we decided to use her entity in sub dividing a section off the back of this same property.
