For over 30 years the team at Francis Group Architects has consistently designed distinctive buildings in Aotearoa New Zealand. We specialise in boutique projects and have earned the trust and respect of our clients by offering a comprehensive and personalised service. A multi-NZIA award winning practice, the team at FGA has extensive experience in all aspects of architecture, from private homes to multi residential developments, from boutique commercial projects to collaborative work with community groups seeking cost effective solutions. Our reputation for exceeding our clients’ needs and expectations is achieved by delivering both enhanced value and design quality. Relationship building Our clients value the strong relationships we have with them, and the time taken to interpret their aspirations. Many of our clients have engaged FGA on multiple projects over many years; many others are referred by existing clients. The longstanding relationship between all members of our senior architecture team ensures clients benefit from our consistent approach and close connection to their specific requirements and aspirations. Value, by design Excellent design leads to great architecture, and great architecture is rewarded in terms of value for you, our client. We maximise site use to improve land values and create the optimum built environment, paying close attention to client constraints. We focus our skills on the design process, applying sensible and honest use of materials. We keep abreast of new and upcoming guidelines, working to align our projects within sustainability frameworks. Taking a blank slate approach to each project, we identify the best opportunities, resulting in finished projects that delight our clients and of which we are rightfully proud.
