With over 18 years’ experience, Nikki entered architecture while living in the UK, starting as a technician before qualifying in architectural design. Setting up business, Nikki contracted to an eco-architect, diocese-listed, English heritage company, working on unique projects throughout UK. Nikki brought her business home in 2011, pursued studies in quantity surveying and was rewarded by NZIQS as Student of the Year in 2013.

With 15 years’ experience, Rachel initially qualified as an interior designer, before moving into architecture on her OE in London. Returning home to work in her family’s building company, Rachel gained knowledge as a frame and truss estimator and detailer. With a Mitek COC qualification, she furthered her expertise in timber and steel construction. Rachel’s passion for design led to her gaining LBP qualification and founding her own business in 2015.

Nikki and Rachel’s core values and visions align – two successful business women who aim to grow women’s presence in architecture and mentor future generations throughout New Zealand. Together, this dynamic duo know they can achieve more; build relationships and give clients functional and beautiful architecture that is uniquely theirs.
