Herbst's Paremoremo House features in the book Making Space: A History of New Zealand Women in Architecture, in the chapter on recent residential architecture. The 2008 house is described by Nicole Stock as a "less intricate than [Herbst Architect's] other timber jewel-box beach houses," which can be adjusted to wind and light conditions through the moving of timber screens. "This is the success of Herbst's architecture: she sees the environment as it is, not as we hope it to be. She also sees timber as a material able to be crafted and manipulated into layers and structures that are only vaguely reminiscent of the timber building code, but are innovative and future-focused for their insight and craft".[1]

Awards

Herbst has won the overall Home of the Year Award a number of times, including in 2012, 2016 and 2018.[1] She won the NZIA Housing: Small Projects and Additions award in 2015 for Clevedon Estate.[1]

Herbst Architects' Kawakawa House won the New Zealand Institute of Architects' Sir Ian Athfield Award in 2018.[3] They won the same award in 2023 for their Omata Beach House.[4] The citation for Omata Beach said "The architects clearly have a strong affinity for materials, how they go together, and how things work and — perhaps most importantly — what that feels like for the people who occupy those spaces."[4]
