The 2025 New Zealand Architecture Directory

The inaugural New Zealand Architecture Directory is a volume that brings together the work of our top architects and designers; it is a glimpse into the breadth of skill and creativity that exists in Aotearoa and a place to begin your residential design journey.

It is intended to inspire, to inform, and to celebrate; it is a collection of the country’s best — those that define our architectural landscape, now and into the future, crafting enduring contributions to our built environment.

These are professionals that can deliver the best, at every stage of your journey — ensuring your home becomes and remains an enriching and rewarding place to inhabit that positively contributes to well-being, responds poetically to its place, and delivers a considered addition to its wider social and physical environment.

This is a publication designed to articulate the nuances of each practice, and how they can help you to realise your next project in ways that may not have been imagined.
