Our Story

We are a successful architecture and urban design practice with experience in big and small towns across New Zealand, Aotearoa.

Architecture is the place where site and people connect. Architecture is a measure of conflict and resolution.

Established in Kapiti in 2005 we are now based in Waikanae, with our practice deeply influenced by the special, physical geography of the river to sea environment. From the headwaters in the hills of Reikorangi to the estuary at the river mouth, Waikanae’s daily rhythm is dominated by this hill to the sea location.
