Puma New Zealand limited and TOA Architects, chose Coveny Group for the fit out of our new store in Dress Smart's Onehunga mall as we had dealt with Aaron Coveny previously with great success. Coveny Group took full control of the project and produced a stunning shop , fulfilling all time, specification and budget requirements. Full communication and consultation was maintained at all times . We could not be more satisfied with the process and the result and heartily recommend Aaron and his team.

Moemoeā; to have a dream, to have a vision.
TOA, Tamaki Makaurau Office Architecture, is about Strength, Bravery and Cutting New Ground.
TOA approach architecture differently. We value the Tangata – People; Whenua – our Land and its history; Aroha – Heart; and Wairua – Spirit. These are the concepts that inspire our architecture. And TOA takes seriously its role as Kaitiaki - Guardians of our clients' and communities' projects, as well as the wider environment.
We believe in the significant influence the built environment has on our minds and our lives. Successful buildings go beyond providing shelter to contribute a delight that enriches our lives and enhances the landscapes buildings arise from.
"I te pō o tētahi rangi noa ake ka moemoeā a Kauhika, he whaea nō Te Rangi-kai-kore tēnei, he wahine moemoe hoki taua kuia / During the night of quite a different day, Kauhika, who was an aunt of Te Rangi-kai-kore, and a dreamer of dreams, had a vision."
