Featured Reviews for Architects in Featherston, Wellington

Wright & Gray: Architects Ltd.
Architects in Featherston, 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 Featherston, 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.”
Essence Architectural Design Limited
Architects in Featherston, Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 July 2016
“We decided to use Robyn, from Essence Design, when she was recommended to us. Robyn was always extremely professional, polite, with a wonderful personality. She is very knowledgeable and we experienced excellent communication throughout the process. We purchased as old industrial building (just a shell really) and wanted work areas for our business and an apartment for living. Robyn listened to our needs and produced a stunning design which was exactly what we had invisioned. We are absolutely thrilled with the result. We would definitely use Robyn (Essence Design) again and highly recommend her to others.”
Mackit Architecture
Architects in Featherston, 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.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 December 2017
“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.”
Cathy Wood Ltd
Architects in Featherston, Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 September 2017
“Cathy is worth every cent I spent on her. I used her services for an internal renovation. She recommended 2 good builders - one of whom I choose to work with - she dealt with all things Council as well as finding solutions to 'things' that came up during the renovation, as they do with an old house. She was responsive, knowledgeable and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
Refresh Renovations Wellington Lia Boersma
Architects in Featherston, Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 October 2019
“The completely non stressful way to do renovations. Get Refresh! Lia and her team did a great job on our ensuite - just what I wanted. This is the second time I have used Refresh - the first time involved a cost effective solution to our garage and parking issues. It is fantastic. Refresh listens and comes up with a solution based on the customer's needs and budget. Would highly recommend.”
Refresh Renovations Wellington Steve Wang
Architects in Featherston, Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 August 2019
“Steve did a great job of coordinating everything. Always easy to contact and quick to fix any issues. He organised the various contractors in a timely practical manner. The project was finished to my timeline provided at the beginning.”
Richard Ainsworth Architect
Architects in Featherston, Wellington
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 April 2024
“Richard designed and project managed our house. He asked us for our ideas about what we wanted in a house and then produced a design that was better than anything I could have imagined myself. It is a practical house, yet has delightful quirks to it. Richard understood that we were working to a budget, and whenever we made suggestions that would push the price up, he would remind us of the costs. He worked closely with the builder during construction, and we had very minimal cost over-run, much less than what we budgeted for.”
HWA ltd
Architects in Featherston, 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 :-)”

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 Featherston, 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 Featherston, 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 Featherston, 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 Featherston 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 Featherston, 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.
