our practice, our values
Architecture Nest Limited provides professional, architectural design, documentation and contract administration services,
creating unique, sensible solutions for construction projects throughout New Zealand, from our studio in Ngaio, Wellington.
"The most successful architectural projects are creative collaborations that take the client, the architect, and the builder on a hugely satisfying journey as initial ideas and concepts are transformed into a solid three dimensional reality. Like almost any other relationship it requires good communication, mutual respect and trust, and a little chemistry." architecturenz.net
We believe that good architecture results naturally from an intrinsic understanding of people intending to use the spaces,
the essence of the environment they wish to inhabit, and the ability to exceed those expectations!
Architecture Nest's successes so far have included renovations, alterations, additions,
restoration, decks, and joinery collaborations.
