architecture+

architecture+ is an award-winning architectural practice based in Wellington, New Zealand. Over the past 29 years architecture+ has gained a wealth of experience across many scales – gaining expertise in civic, commercial and multi-residential projects. Since its establishment in 1994, architecture+ has steadily grown to a sizable practice, led by six directors: Stuart Gardyne, Allan Wright, Stephen Poulopoulos, Belinda Tuohy, Kirsty Chamberlain and Simon Gourley.

architecture+ fosters an inclusive office culture, where our talented staff play an integral role in office and practice development. While architecture+ has a recognised design focus, we are also highly respected for our technical skills and project delivery capabilities. We have a reputation for delivering well-considered projects of consistent design quality and for our sound technical understanding of construction methods and materials.

Nominating the appropriate personnel for each project is fundamental to the successful delivery of our design services. Our methodology sees the meaningful involvement of a project director throughout a project's life, while leading a team with complementary skills and fostering a culture of collaboration. Our project teams are comprised of both long-serving loyal staff with their specialist expertise and newer graduates with fresh contemporary thinking.
