A significant build on Queenstown Hill that involved close collaboration between a number of parties.

Thanks to our clients for trusting us bring the architectural design together, and acknowledgement also to SEDS Ltd for their structural engineering input throughout the project.

Great to see the finished result!

Hinterland, Brighton.

A renovation that took a difficult collision of volumes and roof planes and gave the whole house one language.

The judges picked up on the entry: lighting that draws you in between the juxtaposed roof forms. Dark cladding, so the planting and the coast stay the loudest thing on site.

Commended for Residential Alterations and Additions at the 2026 ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards, Otago/Southland. Thanks .

Build: Fahey & Kwiat Builders Ltd

Commended. 🏆

We're very grateful to have received a Commended Award for our Hinterland project at the 2026 ADNZ Resene Architectural Design Awards, Otago/Southland.

What the judges said: "Taking on a challenging confluence of volumes and roof planes in the existing dwelling, this renovation project brings a unified language that builds on and emphasizes the initial spatial arrangement. Integration of lighting invites visitors to the entry between the juxtaposed roof forms."

It's always great to have our work recognised, and we're incredibly proud of what our excellent DKA team achieved with this project.

A big thank you to our wonderful clients for trusting us with their home, and to Fahey & Kwiat Builders Ltd for bringing the design to life.

Thanks for a great evening.

Our tenant is moving on and we are on the lookout for another company to take on the lease of the rear 135m2 warehouse, storage industrial use within our building. All enquiries via Colliers. Great landlord too 🤪

Built to belong before it was built. 🏔️

Liliwah Stonehouse, out at Glenorchy. A schist home that looks like it grew where it stands, rather than landed there.

We were in the paper. 📰

The ODT's Design for Living feature came out on 25 July, and we were in it.

Worth a read if you're weighing up a build or a renovation: how to plan an outdoor room you'll actually use, the lived-in interiors trend, and the housing winners from this year's Southern Architecture Awards.

We're a Dunedin based team, but our work travels. Alterations, new homes and commercial projects across Otago and around New Zealand. The home pictured in our ad is out at Glenorchy.

Down to earth designers who'd rather work through your wish list, your budget and your timeframe than hand you something off the shelf.

Architecture that belongs here.
