Creative Development

We encourage career development and individual learning through site visits, team CRITs, and opportunities to engage with the industry through regular events and seminars in addition to supporting in-house Continuing Professional Development requirements. We provide learning support for NZIA Registration and cover NZIA Membership fees.

Equal Opportunity

Intelligent, more creative and innovative architecture demands diversity of background, perspectives, education and experience. Gender expression, race, ethnicity, orientation, age and socio-economic status all influence our contribution. And what we know is that diversity in teams drives a high level of performance. We want our studio to be a model for fairness in all our dealings with our employees and collaborators. To achieve this, we must continue to become more informed, celebrate diverse identities in the studio and seek robust equal opportunities policies, taking a rigorous approach in our recruitment, employment, promotion, and pay. The future of the profession depends on it.

Reputation

Our reputation has grown on the back of our design expertise, underpinned by collaborative leaders who span sectors and disciplines to deliver practical and purposeful design. Collaboration plays a fundamental role—with our passionate and award-winning designers, engineers, and manufacturers to achieve and elevate client-specific outcomes. We see projects through to completion because we understand that creativity is only valid where outcomes are realised. As such, maintaining our reputation is vital, informing all decisions made about the future direction of the company including future hires.

Work-Life Balance

We constantly seek to achieve a healthy work-life balance while maintaining the profitability and productivity that enables the resilience of our employees and practice. Internally, we provide healthy snack choices—including Eight Thirty Coffee, while exploring flexible hours and home working. We also offer weekly drinks, monthly team-building events and bi-annual company celebrations. We also encourage public transport with access to generous contributions to transportation costs.
