New ideas and solutions are essential for today’s construction challenges. Since introducing in-house architectural capability to Kirk Roberts we have built a team of dedicated architects with a forward-thinking and collaborative approach. We provide a full design service for our own developments as well as to external clients; working on a range of projects that include commercial, industrial, retail, residential, and community buildings.
Our architectural team can support and lead your project from early feasibility stages, assisting with site selection and master planning; to full design documentation for consent and construction. We strive to achieve outcomes that balance the development objectives in terms of financial viability, with design, environmental, and community objectives.
Our team is passionate about creating attractive places for people to live, work and play within that also foster strong community connectedness and wellbeing.
As part of a multi-discipline company, our Architects bring a deep understanding of the broad range of issues involved with achieving successful construction projects. Our people bring diverse experience from different sectors, and countries to our national team and we collaborate to share work and ideas. Together, we have the knowledge and capacity to deliver projects of every scale and complexity.

“The team at Kirk Roberts used thinking that was outside the box, they liked the idea. Then after putting the basic design into their simulated seismic program, refining, and testing, we landed on the perfect mix of design and engineering. The biggest test came with the 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch. We had already installed tanks in the Rangiora district and later the real test with the 5 – 1.3m litre effluent tanks in Kaikōura (which were full at the time of the Kaikoura earthquake), two of these being on the fault line. The tanks came through with very little damage. We had no idea if they would withhold this type of enormous force, I’d witnessed, concrete, timber, and steel tanks that had collapsed. We’re certainly grateful to have teamed with Kirk Roberts. The commitment Damian and Jade have for their clients, and for finding the best engineering solutions is second to none.”
