WE BELIEVE
Bespoke design begins with understanding who you are, and how good architecture can work together to serve and enhance your life, often in simple but surprising ways.
Our sense of purpose comes from designing spaces that make the lives of our clients better and mix form and function in a way that is both beautiful and practical. Our joy lies in the journey, and taking you along with us in a way that is exciting and fun.
Teamwork is key. We have strong relationships with builders, contractors, suppliers, councils and other consultants and believe connecting our clients with the right people to transform design into reality is how we add value and ensure quality and a positive building experience.
WE DO IT BETTER
Transformative Renovations
Hark Architects are Wellington’s residential renovation and extension specialists, with a proven reputation for reimagining older homes with style and functionality at their heart.
We rethink space, flow and purpose, turning tired or constrained houses into cohesive, modern homes that feel considered, generous and enduring.
Our work is about more than surface change. We design renovations that unlock the full potential of a home while respecting its original character, creating spaces that are both highly functional and quietly refined.
Attention Before Intention
At the heart of Hark Architecture is a deeply responsive way of working. We listen carefully to how you live, what matters most to you, and where flexibility or certainty is needed. The design process is driven by your priorities, not by an imposed aesthetic or personal agenda.
Every design decision is tested against real-world constraints, construction realities and long-term value.
This disciplined approach ensures the final outcome is both aspirational and achievable, with no disconnect between design intent and delivery.
Start-to-Finish Service
Hark provides a genuine end-to-end architectural service, guiding residential renovation and quality new build projects from early concept through to consent, construction and completion.
With specialist experience in complex renovations and strong relationships within the greater Wellington residential building sector, we anticipate challenges early and manage the detail and costs carefully as the project unfolds.
For our busy clients, this means clarity, confidence and continuity. You can step back knowing the process is being thoughtfully managed, communication is clear, and the finished result will reflect both the ambition of the design and the care taken to deliver it well.
Architecture is about people. We know it’s an exciting and often daunting process, so making it easy, understanding who you are and making the journey enjoyable is what we get the most satisfaction from.
