'iti Architects

The studio

Architecture, interiors and project management from a Cook Islands Māori studio in Auckland

'iti Architects brings together three practitioners with a shared way of working. The studio designs buildings and interiors, and manages the delivery of projects, with a focus on spatial traditions, climate resilient design and Pacific values.

  • Architecture

    Concept design through to consent documentation and construction for new buildings, alterations and housing.

  • Interiors

    Interior design and fit-out for homes, community and commercial spaces, planned around how people gather and live.

  • Project Management

    Programme, budget and contract administration from brief to handover, so a project is delivered the way it was designed.
