Design for life

With over 100 staff, we’re a passionate team of urban designers, landscape architects, architects, interior designers, digital experts, and sustainability advocates. We deliver design thinking to clients in industries from housing and retail to residential development, education, and aged care. By drawing together our multidisciplinary expertise and approaching problems from diverse perspectives, we answer our clients’ needs with originality, innovation, and relevance.  

We have studios located in Newmarket and Kingsland (Auckland) along with Tauranga and Christchurch, giving us enough reach to service both the North and South Islands.

Our goal is simple, to help people live better lives – at home, in the workplace and when they’re out and about. With a focus on sustainability, we create future-proofed buildings and communities in context with their environments.

We exist to design for life.

Context portal

Communication is the key to any successful project, which is why we created the Context portal. This online platform gives our clients access to their project’s status at any time, on any device. It provides the latest information on programmes, risks, issues, design documents, invoices, and statements – all in real-time.
