This project was delivered in close collaboration with the client, an architect, with the design developed through shared discussion and joint decision-making throughout the process.
We’re pleased to see the project featured in The Press (October 2025) and Nelson Magazine (October 2025, pages 48–49), and to acknowledge the collaborative effort behind it.

🏡 PROJECT SHOWCASE: Alteration & Extension | 2022 🏡

We're excited to share one of our standout projects from 2022 — a thoughtful Alteration & Extension that brought new life to an existing home while staying true to its character.

10 YEARS OF ARCHITECTURE STUDIO MAPUA 🥂

So this month Architecture Studio Mapua is celebrating 10 years in Business!
I can’t believe that I’ve been in business this long. Oh, how time flies when you enjoy what you are doing! 😊
Thought this would be the perfect time to re-post this article published in 'Wild Tomato' in January 2013 which tells the story of how it all began with the 'Design House'.
