Studio Pacific Architecture

Shaping a more sustainable and uplifting built environment across the buildings, neighbourhoods, cities, and landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand. From early design competitions and small residential commissions Studio Pacific has evolved into an award-winning substantial and creative practice with diverse projects throughout New Zealand. Particular recognition has been given to the studio for working with the arts, urban regeneration, housing, masterplanning and contemporary workspace planning. Studio Pacific undertakes a large range of projects, from small individual furniture items to large projects involving entire new towns. Our small scale work includes new houses, additions and alterations, and retail work. Our larger schemes include large multi-unit residential and commercial buildings as well as masterplans and landscaping. We enjoy having a mix of project sizes and types in the Studio – each project has different challenges and offers varied opportunities for us to express our creativity in response. Collaboration Collaboration is fundamental to the way we work. The Studio fosters a willingness to collaborate with a range of designers, from other architects and landscape architects to specialist fitout designers and other specialist consultants. Creativity We approach every project afresh, and we are actively looking for the unusual design solution or idea that can unlock the design direction. We are open-minded about possible design solutions and search for innovative, progressive and inventive means of achieving design results. Sustainability Studio Pacific is at the forefront of the development of sustainable design in New Zealand and we are committed to sustainability as a central component of contemporary design.
