Fortune Architecture

About

A passion for people and quality craftsmanship paired with a love for unique, creative architectural design led founder Scott Fortune to start his practice.

Based between the Canterbury and Nelson/Tasman regions, Fortune Architecture is solely owned and operated by Scott, focusing on residential new builds and renovations nationwide.

Watching projects become disjointed as they exchanged hands inspired the creation of a company that leads clients from initial design through to completion of their project, ensuring they’re well informed and supported throughout the process. 

Embarking on a renovation or new build project with Fortune Architecture ensures you’ll always work directly with Scott and your best interests will remain front of mind throughout the design and build process.

"We tried several other Architects before fortunately discovering Scott. He listened carefully to our vision, offered inspiring ideas and options and developed the concept into a fantastic design. Scott communicated with us continually and professionally all the way through and it was a pleasure working with him. His initial digital visuals were amazing. If you want an architect who listens to you, has great design skills with excellent communication and works to your budget Scott is the man for you!"

"We worked with Scott to bring our dream of an architecturally designed family home to life, Scott achieved this and more skilfully interpreting our design inspirations and functionality requirements, bringing these to life as a functional architectural design. Throughout this process Scott guided us through the many potential pitfalls of the design process and importantly to us designed to meet our budgetary expectations, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott's design services to others."

"We engaged Fortune Architecture to assist us with the design of our renovation project. Scott was particularly great to work with. He listened to what we wanted but also encouraged us to consider other options that we hadn't thought of. Scott has incredible attention to detail, great ideas and was patient with our frequent changes of design thoughts. He was extremely thoughtful throughout the process, as the renovation was daunting for us, having been in the house for the last 40 years. We would highly recommend Fortune Architecture and wouldn't hesitate to use them again."
