Box Studio

Our clients inspire us.

They bring their ideas, experiences and ways of living and challenge us to think differently.

We listen, question, share our experience and explore what’s possible together. Because the best homes aren’t simply designed for our clients.
They’re designed with them.

This home already had the location and years of memories for a growing family. It just needed to evolve with them.

We created a whole new living experience, opening up the home with a new kitchen, living and dining area designed around the way the family wanted to live.

Sometimes you don’t need a new address. You just need a home that works better for you.

Thinking about transforming your home? Let’s talk.

As architects, designers and builders working under one roof with our sister company Box Build, we take your home from first sketch to final handover - with an in-house cost-estimation team keeping the budget honest.

Have an idea? Let’s make it possible.

First impressions start at the front door.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve designed some very different ways to welcome you home - from bold architectural statements to quiet, understated entrances that blend beautifully into their surroundings.

No two homes are the same, and neither should their entrances be.

Here are a few of our favourite welcoming entrances from recent Box projects.

Which one would you choose?

Five homes. Five briefs. Five completely different responses.

After almost 15 years and 400+ homes across Aotearoa, we know one thing: great design starts with the people and the place.

From a coastal Waiheke retreat to a treetop home, a transformed 1930s bungalow and a reimagined mid-century classic - each of these homes began with a different story, challenge and way of living.

No two are the same. And that’s exactly how we like it.

Your ideas. Our experience.

Together, creating homes that are considered, individual and made to last.

We’re thrilled that Box Studio and Box Build have taken home 2 Golds at this year’s Master Builders House of the Year Awards.

These awards are a recognition of the design thinking, craftsmanship and collaboration that goes into creating exceptional homes, from the first sketch through to the final detail.

But above all, we’re incredibly grateful to our clients for trusting us with their homes and for allowing us to enter these two very special projects into the awards.

Every home begins with a vision. It’s our job to listen, challenge, refine and bring that vision to life - creating homes that are not only beautiful, but thoughtfully designed around the people who live in them.

A huge thank you to our architects, designers, builders, subcontractors and everyone behind the scenes who helped bring these projects together.
And of course, congratulations to our clients. These Golds are yours too.

Another exciting Box project is underway.

Construction has officially started on this striking new coastal North Shore home! We’re looking forward to bringing this project to life with our clients and project team.

Stay tuned as we share the journey from site works to completed home.

A steep coastal block on Waiheke's eastern end. A wish for something that felt like a resort, but rooted in the land. The result: a home that asks you to slow down, step outside, and really feel the bush around you.

A classic 1930s brick bungalow, thoughtfully reimagined for modern family living.

Behind the original character façade, a striking gabled addition creates a light-filled kitchen, dining and living space where every detail has been carefully considered. Warm walnut cabinetry,marble and seamless micro-cement floors come together to create a home that feels calm, refined and timeless.

This project is a reminder that great architecture isn't about doing more, it's about making every design decision count.
