Compass Point

Kim Veltman Architecture is a small friendly Architectural firm based in Pakuranga, Auckland headed by Kim Veltman, an Architectural Graduate with over 20 years experience.

We specialise in providing a wide range of Architectural Designs, both contemporary and traditional for residential and commercial purposes.

We are committed to listening carefully to our clients, their requirements and wish lists. We like to see how they live or work, as appropriate, in order to ensure that the design created meets their requirements and is unique to them.
We are aware of the importance of the project meeting the client’s budgetary requirements and try to provide a realistic estimate of likely costs a project may incur.

“Design today needs to take into account versatility of space. Choose a design that can change with the times.
Remember that the house will eventually be sold, so try to make it adaptable for a variety of living arrangements.
When instructing an Architect you don’t need to have a firm idea of what kind of home you want; you need to think about how you would like to live.

In good design there is little wasted space. Optical illusions take advantage of long lengths of the home and use the outside environment to draw the eye in.

What makes a great home is designing one that meets the needs of the people who live in it and you do this by following first principles of design, using light, sun, views, aspect, climate and the surrounding environment.”
