Featured Reviews for Architects in Wellington

Wright & Gray: Architects Ltd.
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 November 2017
“I have worked with John on an extensive home renovation. He is a great architect to work with and I am pleased to being doing another project with him. He has a wonderful collaborative and inclusive approach, which means the clients and professionals working on the project all feel valued.”
Holmes Architecture
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2017
“We had designed our first new home ourselves, but second time around it wasn’t so easy. We had a basic concept in mind, but couldn’t bring it all together and “make it fit”. We chose Mike for two reasons, firstly he’d been recommended by a friend to check him out and we loved the look of his previous designs, and secondly because he’d completed a builder’s apprenticeship. It was important to us that our architect also had practical building knowledge. Mike came back to us with a design that incorporated all the things that we had asked for, but also added some quirky features and design elements that we would never have come up with on our own. He visited us on site, and was always respectful of our preferences and worked hard to pull the whole design together. We would definitely recommend him to others who are looking for a professional, considerate, and innovative architect.”

“Stefan did an amazing job designing the reno for our Kitchen and Lounge area. The package he provided was perfect for bringing to builders for quotes and gave us some great ideas.”
Mackit Architecture
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 July 2016
“We chose James and his team at Mackit because we loved his contemporary modern design style. The team made the process very easy and their detailing, care and attention as both a master builders and architectural designers was exceptional. They were fabulous at listening to our brief, designing and then building our project. The project was delivered to deadline without any unexpected costs to us, something that we’d never experienced with previous design or building projects. The Mackit builders were unfailingly polite, communicated really well and were a pleasure to deal with, especially important with our young family living on-site during the build. The result is brilliant and much better than we envisaged. We frequently refer James and the team at Mackit to our friends and family and wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to design and build any of our future projects.”
Click Architects Ltd
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 March 2017
“My husband and I hired Carolyn Walker of Click Architects Ltd to provide architectural services and advice for our house renovation. She assisted us through the whole process from concept designs up to the completion of the project. I found her extremely professional, helpful and her advice timely and accurate. We worked well together and she helped create a renovation that exceeded our hopes and expectations. I would definitely recommend her to potential clients.”
HWA ltd
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 August 2019
“This is the second project I've engaged HWA for. I wouldn't have gone back if I wasn't happy the first time - and this project has been just as successful. Happy to (and frequently do) recommend HWA - just as long as he doesn't get so popular and busy that he can't work on my next projects :-)”
First Light Studio
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2015
“Calm, spacious, design incorporation is relaxing feeling of character. I am constantly looking for ideas, for my future home addition, can't afford much as a single parent so small spaces with large feeling of the outside inside helps the feeling of being locked in all the time..(I live in a home with no character but functions as a shelter.”
Foundation Architects
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2015
“I was recently commissioned by Foundation Architects to Photograph one of their residential projects. They made my job easy - It was incredibly well designed with plenty of features to focus on. To top that off they were also very easy to deal. Highly recommended!”
Bevin Slessor Architects
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2014
“We engaged Nick Bevin to design our new home, he design a home that works perfectly for us, with complete consideration for the sun and views. He interrupted our brief to design a home will beyond our expectations. Rhiannon an interior architect with this team, designed our kitchen; laundry and vanities again making the ordinary - exordinary. Totally recommend Bevin + Slessor Architects, our investment in their expertise will continue to repay us everyday.”
Reve Architecture
Architects in Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 July 2016
“Mike and Sian have repeatidly provided us with sound advice, great ideas and delivered on time and budget. They are 'unflapable' when things deviate from the plans and use their expertise and influence to calm and return to the desired path. The added bonus is their patience to educate me through the new waters of subdivision and building.”

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 Wellington 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 Wellington 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 Wellington, 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 Wellington 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 Wellington 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 Wellington 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.

Questions to ask prospective residential architects in Wellington:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?

  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (The architect's personal style could interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a project manager and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Do you foresee any complications with this project?
