OUR PHILOSOPHY
To us, architecture is much more than simply designing a building. We create spaces that lift spirits out of the ordinary to inspire and enlighten new ways of being. We believe in architecture that is designed around human activity and comfort - not lavish comfort however, rather the comfort of having a place to park one's self and feel relaxed and without concern.
We have a group approach and focus on architecture as an art practiced with rigour and energy. Attention to craft and an intimate knowledge of the building process means that each building reflects the environment, culture and community in which it is situated. With the careful handling of light and thoughtfully considered materials, our buildings provide both opportunities for calm as well as stirring moments of connection with the outside world.

A Marriage of Space and Light
“While buildings are made of stuff like concrete and glass, what distinguishes Te Uru is a marriage of space and light, and it’s the conversation between these two ethereal qualities that characterises the architecture”.
In this article ‘Cubism in Titirangi’ Peter Ireland shares his thoughts on Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery shortly after it first opened in 2014.

We love collaborating with our clients to create beautiful spaces they will enjoy spending time in. Although a small practice, we are fluid thinkers and can consider any job no matter the scale or type. We welcome you to get in touch with us to discuss your ideas.
