Box - The Architect Builder
Architects in Parakai, Auckland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 August 2022
“We used Box to design, subdivide and build a new house for us. We loved the process so much we did it twice! This process is not for the faint hearted but if you're prepared to give it a go, we'd recommend using Box as your partner. We've now lived in our Box home for 5 years and still love it! Nigel & Jean”

Four Walls Architecture
Architects in Parakai, Auckland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 July 2015
“Four Walls Architecture designed a large contemporary home for us on a site situated in Westmere, Auckland. They carried out the conceptual design work, assisted with the resource consent application and completed the detailed design and building consent application. Our brief was quite specific in regards to the general look we were trying to achieve, the size and layout of the home, the use of low maintenance materials and a high degree of energy efficiency. The design process was a very pleasant experience and Four Walls was always open to discussing any ideas or opinions we had and incorporating them into the design accordingly. The home is currently being built and it is great seeing how the ideas are being transformed from plans and computer models to a physical form. The way it is turning out has exceeded our expectations in a number of ways and it is truly turning out to be our dream home! Four Walls has continued to be very helpful and provide assistance to both us and the builder in a timely manner during the building process. I have already recommended them to another family member who is using them for an extensive renovation in Herne Bay and would certainly not hesitate recommending them to anyone else, or to use them again.”

“Kate's used her professional's knowledge and experience in renovating small spaces to create a kitchen plan that makes the best use of space, is functional and looks great. The Concept design plan was innovative, beautiful and created elements that I hadn't previously considered. I'm looking forward to working with Kate to compete the renovation.”

Gel Architects
Architects in Parakai, Auckland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 April 2015
“As a building firm, we have been renovating homes in Auckland for 23 years. During that time, we have worked with numerous architects. However, Graeme Wrack is by far and away our "top man". As a designer, he is truly gifted. He alters all styles of houses so that they not only look right, but suit their family needs. As a professional, he is an excellent listener, is unflappable and makes projects flow smoothly. We wish all architects were like him. Hans and Wendy.”
9 Design Environments
Architects in Parakai, Auckland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 May 2018
“Lisa and I engaged 9Design Environments in 2014 as architects for the renovation of our run down home in Auckland. Documentation was provided cost efficiently and on time, and during the build all site inspections undertaken on schedule. Shannon and her colleagues were friendly, approachable and professional and worked well with our builder. Most importantly, during the design stages, Shannon was open to our ideas, testing them and either giving us a reality check or finding creative and practical ways to make them work. We are very happy with the result.”
Masonry Design Solutions Ltd

“I can not speak highly enough about MDS and their level of professionalism and passion for all things architecture and construction. MDS had a attentive attitude towards my own vision which was supported with respect and enthusiasm. Their experience and value add was present through every aspect of the build from design to completion. If your looking for a team of genuine down to earth good people who design works of art not just an house then I highly recommend you should talk to the team at MDS. Thanks MDS for designing our dream, we can not thank you enough. Cheers Steve”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Parakai, Auckland also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Parakai, Auckland who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Parakai, Auckland, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your 0874 locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Parakai, Auckland architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Auckland subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
