Choice Architecture was born in 2017 after Director, Joe Armitage, discovered the need for a smaller, more personalised Architectural service in Canterbury. Office Manager Lisa McLaughlin, and Architectural Designers Jadyn Cooke and Jason Williamson complete the collaborative team, and together they make it the successful company it is today.
The team at Choice Architecture were amazing to work with every step of the way. When I explained what I wanted, they knew exactly what that was, and listened to everything which made the process so easy and fun. Cheers team can’t wait to work on the next one!
Choice Architecture did a little project for us. They were very good to work with, great communication, and they were always a step ahead. They delivered on the tight time frames that we were presented with to get a consent through. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
Choice has completed a number of jobs for us now. What's good about them is that they can offer a complete service from ideas on design, style, best use of site or area etc. They listen to what our customers want, and they try hard to get them what they want within the customer's budget range. Also the timeframes are realistic and always achieved. Thanks guys!
Just received the Building Consent for our new house. Would like to thanks Choice Architecture, who went above and beyond for us and I couldn't rate them any higher, they would always answer the phone and worked extra hours to push this through for us. If you ever need plans drawn up give them a call!
We have worked with Choice on numerous projects for both ourselves and our clients. They listen, they create, and they deliver, every time. Their designs and ideas are both innovative and practical and the documentation and drawings are always clear and easy to follow making our job less stressful. We look forward to working with the Choice Architecture team on our future projects.
We have used Choice Architecture multiple times now for our projects from Two story Deck designs to Bathroom and Kitchen renovations and additions.
Choice Architecture have always given us flawless communication, and Great cost effective solutions.
We highly recommend them to anyone, for any size project.
I've used Choice Architecture on a number of major commercial developments, and have found the whole team to be great to work with, they have a knack of deciphering and understanding what I've got in my head and turning it into realistic, tangible plans.
A great Team full of Energy
We are a design build company and use Choice Architecture for our architectural drawing. Communication is good and pricing is very reasonable. Everyone is very easy to work with. Thanks Team :)
I had an idea for a project to replace a tired old house in Papanui with some townhouses to rent. I scribbles some ideas on paper and Choice Architecture transformed it into 3 fantastic homes with clever ideas and great solutions to tricky problems. They put in extra time and were always available to discuss anything. I am supremely pleased with the result which has exceeded my expectations and which I put down directly to Choice Architecture's work ethic and their great ideas. I would definitely recommend them and will return to them for my next project.
My partner and I engaged Choice Architecture following our decision to build a home for the first time. We planned a small, energy-efficient home and it was important to us that we could work with a company familiar with the design principles we proposed.
Although we had some definite ideas relating to the build the team at Choice Architecture helped us transform the basic house plans we'd prepared into the home we're now building. Their suggestions and recommendations ultimately improved the aesthetics of the building.
They also guided us through the sometimes seemingly complex systems associated with consents and other aspects of the building process. Budgetary constraints were kept in mind and we were actively involved in any decision making. Communication problems were never an issue : replies to emails or phone calls were promptly returned.
The team at Choice Architecture were always helpful, courteous, friendly and professional. They were a pleasure to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company to anyone planning to build or requiring architectural design advice.
We are very excited about seeing the result of their expertise and wish the company all the best for the future.
Roberston Building Canterbury have had the pleasure of working alongside Choice Architecture on multiple projects. If you're building, renovating and have big dreams of how you want your space to be you have come to the right place! For every project we found Choice Architecture to always be professional and understanding of our needs and our clients, have great communication and will always go that extra mile to help, they also work proficiently with the Council to provide all our building consents and other necessary documentation for each of the projects.
Overall, we found Choice Architecture easy to work with and they will help you achieve what you want by showing new possibilities and creative opportunities to make the most of your space and budget. I highly recommend Choice and have no questions about the quality of the design work that has been done for us and our clients and will I continue to work with them in the future.
