Since 2004, Essence Architectural Design creates unique, custom-designed, healthier, comfortable homes and commercial interiors. Serving all of New Zealand.

We’re based on the Kapiti Coast and routinely take on architecture projects throughout the Wellington Region. We have clients all over New Zealand, and even Australia, seeking our specialist services.

Aiming for Excellence
Essence Design is an award-winning Architectural Design studio. We are passionate and driven, but not at any cost. We will never turn down a project because it will never be an award winner. Instead, we get great satisfaction of working closely with our clients, to make their dreams a reality. We are proudly members of Architectural Designers New Zealand.
