At Choice Architecture

We pride ourselves on our professionalism and design ethos.

Our ability to connect with our clients is second to none and assists greatly in ensuring the best possible experience for all involved. We are a small but dedicated, tight knit company who work closely with our clients to ensure their design is one they can be truly proud of. Through creative planning, we can turn your dream into reality.

At Choice Architecture, variety is key. Whilst we get immense satisfaction completing big budget architectural homes, we believe it is important to never forget where we started, so lower budget spec homes are always welcome, and equal amounts of care and commitment is invested in these smaller projects. We also have countless experience with alterations and renovations. Working with existing dwellings can prove challenging, however we thrive on this, as it allows us to really showcase our design prowess. The gratification we get seeing the delight of our clients when they come to the realisation that their impractical existing floorplan can in fact be reworked into a beautiful, functional space, far outweighs any hurdles we may face.

Although we work predominantly on residential design, we also have experience in light commercial and investment properties such as multi units/apartments.

 We offer a free, no obligation consultation to discuss your needs, which enables us to provide you with a quote tailored to your project and requirements. Whether you are a homeowner planning your dream home, or a builder/investor wanting to delve into your next spec project, we are here to help. With two Licensed Building Practitioners on board, you can be assured you are in good hands when you choose to work with
Choice Architecture.

“Robertson Building Canterbury have had the pleasure of working alongside Choice Architecture on multiple projects. If you’re building, renovating or have big dreams of how you want your space to be, you have come to the right place! For every project we have found Choice Architecture to always be professional and understanding of our needs and our clients, have great communication and will always go that extra mile to help. They also work proficiently with the Council to provide all our building consents and other necessary documentation for each of the projects. Overall, we find Choice Architecture easy to work with and they will help you achieve what you want by showing new possibilities and creative opportunities to make the most of your space and budget. I highly recommend Choice and have no questions about the quality of the design work that has been done for us and our clients and will continue to work with them in the future.”

ARTHUR ROBERTSON

ROBERTSON BUILDING COMPANY

“I had an idea for a project to replace a tired old house in Papanui with some townhouses to rent. I scribbled some ideas on paper and Choice Architecture transformed it into 3 fantastic homes with clever ideas and great solutions to tricky problems. They put in the extra time and were always available to discuss anything. I am supremely pleased with the result which has exceeded my expectations and which I put down directly to Choice Architecture’s work ethic and their great ideas. I would definitely recommend them and will return to them for my next project.”

DR MARK COHEN

HOMEOWNER

“My partner and I engaged Choice Architecture following our decision to build a home for the first time. We planned a small, energy-efficient home and it was important to us that we could work with a company familiar with the design principles we proposed.
Although we had some definite ideas relating to the build, the team at Choice Architecture helped us transform the basic house plans we’d prepared into the home we’re now building. Their suggestions and recommendations ultimately improved the aesthetics of the building. They also guided us through the sometimes seemingly complex systems associated with consents and other aspects of the building process. Budgetary constraints were kept in mind, and we were actively involved in any decision making. Communication was never an issue. Replies to emails or phone calls were promptly returned.
The team at Choice were always helpful, courteous, friendly and professional. They were a pleasure to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company to anyone planning to build or requiring architectural design advice. We are very excited about seeing the result of their expertise and wish the company all the best for the future.”
