Lovell and O'Connell Architects

Each architectural project we create evolves holistically from the poetics of landscape & craft, cultural context, sound technical understanding, budget pragmatics & client aspirations.

Founded in 2013 by Registered Architects Ana O’Connell and Tim Lovell, Lo’CA is an NZIA Architectural Practice based on Wellington’s south coast, working across a variety of scales, throughout New Zealand.

Our design process is informed by a strong collaborative approach within the studio and the partnerships we foster with clients, consultants and builders..

With an open-minded approach and clear design intent, we create thoughtfully nuanced buildings that celebrate people’s lives and connect to the New Zealand landscape.
