Diverse Design, (also known as DDL Architecture) are an experienced team of Architectural Designers based in Hamilton, Waikato.

Our team has extensive experience in both residential and commercial building designs, plus we can take care of preparing your project’s building consents for Council lodgement and Council liaison.

Diverse Design is just that, diverse.
We’re very open minded to different styles, sustainable ideas and alternative building solutions. We understand that no two clients are the same, ideas and budgets vary and we treat each client and job individually. We take the time to establish what you want and deliver the best solution and style for you.

Our Goal is to provide the highest quality architectural design and drafting services. We’ve been involved in many multi-million dollar residential and commercial design projects and are proud to bring all this experience to your next project.

Under the guidance of our Founder James Cusiel, who has a reputation of providing quality work and a friendly and professional manner, the team have been given great opportunities to be involved in larger scale projects. This has allowed James to continue to grow the company’s portfolio.

The whole team welcome new clients and are ready to help make your dream project a reality with our clever designs.
