About
We are a boutique design practice with 30+ years of experience delivering award-winning architectural and interior concepts for hospitality, hotels, tourism, commercial and residential clients across New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, Middle East and US.
Together, with our clients and collaborators, we have built a deep portfolio of culturally significant projects that change the way people socialise, work, live and travel for the better.
Approach
We strive for optimistic, place-based design responses that celebrate the aspirations, and values of the people and communities that inhabit them.
We create timeless environments that capture the zeitgeist, yet age gracefully, revealing their beauty over time, to ensure longevity and true sustainability.
Experience
We draw from three decades working with the world’s best to design beautiful spaces that are efficient and profitable to operate, and a joy to experience.
We offer expertise and support at every project stage from vision and concept development to design, detailing, contracting, pricing, art direction, procurement and project supervision.
Legacy
Our body of 300+ projects is testament to the enduring, collaborative, creative partnerships we form with our clients.
Our spaces have played host to world-leaders, film stars, arts icons, music royalty and now hopefully you.
