Hello

I am a registered member of the New Zealand Institute of Architects and have grown a comprehensive architectural portfolio throughout the Nelson and Tasman regions and beyond. From large commercial and civic buildings through to high-end residential and heritage projects.

Your brief and budget will be carefully considered and projects delivered with a high standard of service.

Utilising and maximizing orientation, energy efficiency and sustainability will be at the forefront of my approach to your design and can be incorporated in an innovative and creative manner dependent on your lifestyle and budget.

CP Architects are accredited Homestar Designers. A 6 Homestar rated home will be easier to keep warm and healthy, more cost effective to run, and more environmentally friendly than a home built to the current standards set by the New Zealand Building Code. A 10 Homestar rating rewards a market-leading home. We are developing our skills, and passion, further in high thermal efficiency and low energy by offering services to reach Passive House certification.

I’m happy to consider your project small or large, residential through to commercial.

“I’d 100% recommend Chris.  Chris listens well, drew up just what I needed, then executed everything smoothly.  Wonderful to deal with – so much so that I will use him again in future.”
