About
Slate Studio – Architectural Design Specialists
At Slate Studio, we craft intelligent, design-led spaces that reflect the way people live, work, and connect.
As the design engine behind Slate Construction, we deliver thoughtful architecture that balances creativity with constructability, ensuring every idea can be realised beautifully and built with precision.
From concept to consent, our design process is collaborative, intentional, and deeply rooted in understanding your lifestyle, site, and vision. Whether it’s a bespoke coastal home, multi-unit development, or commercial fitout, we approach each project with creativity, technical expertise, and a commitment to enduring quality.
Based in Papamoa and led by Finn Tate (Design Lead – LBP Design 2), our studio supports projects throughout Taranaki, Manawatū, Horowhenua, Kāpiti Coast, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay, and beyond.
Let's Create Brilliant Together.
