About Arthouse Architects
We work in a creative and collaborative studio. Arthouse Architects fosters a team approach for architects and designers that is carried through to our relationships with clients, contractors and consultants. Working collaboratively with landscape architects, sculptors and artists is integral to what we do.
“Our aim is enduring permanent design rather than the transient.”
Context and sustainability are fundamental to our design approach, integrating innovative methods of dealing with passive cooling and heating, natural ventilation, daylight management and energy use. Good design is creative and positive with a poetic quality, yet functional and personal with the client always in mind.
LOCATION: Christchurch and Nelson, New Zealand
