What we do

Multi-unit residential development requires a careful balance between meeting expectations of potential buyers, complying with Unitary/District Plan requirements and making a profit in the process.

A combination of experience and intelligent design helps us deliver innovative, flexible and future focused learning environments, right across New Zealand.

Regardless of the size or complexity of your project, we’ll work closely with you to understand your vision and deliver a commercial space that’s fit for purpose.

We don’t believe in sacrificing function for the sake of form. Instead, we connect the two to deliver stunning homes that work.

High performance, low energy buildings are warm, dry, healthy and cheap to run. Respond Architects can work with you to design your building to Passive House Certification, & other low energy certification standards.

Taking a holistic design approach, Homestar rates how well a building performs and how efficient it is in terms of running costs.

The science is clear – we need to stop talking about reducing Carbon emissions in buildings, and start acting now. Respond Architects are a signatory to Architects Declare, and are committed to reducing embodied and operational carbon in our projects.

As architects, we respect and understand Te Ao Māori, Tikanga and Te Aranga design principles, and we’re excited about the potential to harness Aotearoa’s cultural history in our design process.

Our goal is not only to remediate, but to enhance your building’s aesthetics, improve its functionality and ultimately add value.

Our specialist architectural consultancy services encompass energy efficiency, sustainability and weathertightness. With our expertise in these areas, we can ensure your designs balance cost, buildability, durability and performance, to deliver quality and maximum value.
