Our Approach
About UsWith experience across a broad range of cultural, residential, commercial, education and landscape sectors, we’re passionate about helping people build better, smarter and more consciously. As a social enterprise and multi-disciplinary practice, we work alongside clients, community and iwi to undertake projects of all forms and sizes. We work across architecture, design, education, experimentation and art to reimagine spaces, ideas and objects.
