We design with impact - creating sustainable, future-ready spaces while fostering lasting relationships with clients, contractors, and communities. Our work isn’t just built for today; it’s crafted to stand the test of time.

Our suite of services is shaped by the belief that we have a duty to clients, society and future generations. We design structures that are functional today, but also adaptable and sustainable for future generations, leaving a positive, enduring legacy. From extraordinary residences to civic centres and hospitality fit-outs, we support every type of sector, project, scale and complexity.

We push boundaries and challenge norms to create unconventional solutions. Despite our scale and expertise, we stay approachable, flexible, and committed to projects big and small. Our bold, unorthodox culture fuels creativity at every turn.

We’ve been pushing boundaries since 2003, leveraging what we know to explore what we don’t. We are not just designing buildings, we’re shaping the future of the industry based on the concept that unordinary creates extraordinary. Our 360° service approach, combined with an inclusive client partnership model,allows us to create innovative solutions that consider Te Aranga Design Principles. We bring together skills and experiences from a vast array of countries and cultures, pushing boundaries both personally and professionally, harnessing our collective creativity to deliver extraordinary results.

We keep our word and own our shit. Follow through on commitments, and go above and beyond expectations.

Led by purposeful creativity, we challenge norms through innovative, functional solutions.

Our diverse skill set and adaptable approach empowers us to respond swiftly to challenges and opportunities.

As un-hierarchical as it gets… Our culture is built on strong relationships and a ‘family’ oriented mindset.

We foster an environment of openness, honesty and collaboration.
