mō mātou - about us

We provide a full spectrum of design services from concept through to overseeing the build.  Our ideal projects are ones where there is strong emphasis on enduring design and we tend to linger in the design space to refine the concept before moving into detailing for construction and consent.

We provide Te Ao Māori Cultural Design Consultancy, Advocacy Services and Architectural Design for collaborative projects.  We are grateful for the opportunities we’ve been given to work with iwi groups from all over Aotearoa, taking their aspirations and expressing these in design.  This mahi is an absolute privilege and the fulfilment of a long-held desire to work in this space.

Interior Design services are available in-house at Waka Group. We are stoked to have the talented Sarmya Clayton in our design team.  You can check out some of her own mahi at https://sarmya.co.nz.  Other services include Feasibility Reports, Public Space Design, Mahi Toi….. We also have experience in Farming, Butchering, Physiotherapy, Childrearing and Coffee….come and chat!
