Professional

Urbanfunction is a design collaborative based in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand that draws on a range of skill and experience to deliver a diverse range of residential and commercial architectural projects both at home in beautiful Aotearoa and internationally.

The importance of Architecture and design within society, we believe is everything. As space, light and visual context affect mood and function within ourselves and those around us, it is critical we live within well considered environments. Considered not only for the purpose of which a building or product is to function but also to it's own environment and surroundings. This forms part of the core philosophy as to how we approach design.
