Custom joinery features samples of the Abodo products, which can be pulled out on drawers.
The space currently used as an office could easily be converted into a downstairs bedroom.

About the
Professional

Assembly is an Arrowtown based architecture practice delivering exceptional architecture with personality, connection to landscape and considered construction.

We design homes and special projects in the Queenstown Lakes district, Wanaka and Central Otago. Current projects include heritage sensitive homes in Arrowtown, a rammed earth home in Wanaka, and distinctive new homes at Mount Cardrona Station, the Crown Terrace, Ben Lomond and Lowburn Mt Pisa.

Our homes are decidedly personal and individual, strongly connected to landscape, and expressed with detailed materiality. Design communication is huge to us. We utilise design tools that visually communicate the design in an engaging, interactive and visually realistic method.

Registered Architects Louise Wright and Justin Wright established Assembly in Wellington in 2005, and moved to Arrowtown in 2012.  Our Arrowtown studio is situated on Arrow Lane in the heart of Arrowtown’s historic town centre.

The studio comprises a tight knit and talented team – Emma Schmitz, Marcus Kirk, Simon Khouri, Catarina Peeters and Matt Connolly, who together with Justin and Louise work in small teams to bring your design to life 

In 2019 Assembly was a founding signatory to the NZ Architect’s Declare Climate & Biodiversity Emergency.

Assembly is a New Zealand Institute of Architects practice.
