Bespoke Residential Architecture
Every home is unique, and every project begins with understanding how you want to live. Whether you're planning a renovation, an extension or a new home, Alastair Mckenzie Architects works closely with you to develop thoughtful, practical design solutions that respond to your site, budget and aspirations.
From the first conversation through to building consent and construction, you'll receive clear advice and guidance at every stage. The process is collaborative, with each design carefully developed to balance functionality, aesthetics, budget and buildability.
Based in Auckland, Alastair Mckenzie Architects works throughout Auckland, Northland, Waikato and the Coromandel.
The Process
Every project is different, but the process typically follows these stages:

Concept Design – Exploring ideas and developing a design that reflects your vision.
Developed Design – Refining the preferred option and coordinating specialist consultants where required.
Building Consent Documentation – Preparing detailed drawings and documentation for council approval.
Construction – Assisting during construction to help achieve the intended outcome.
