Established in 1997, HMOA is an NZIA award-winning practice with studios in Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland and Tauranga. Our rich portfolio of commercial and residential work is a commitment to beautifully crafted architecture that enhances the lives of those who experience our buildings.
We believe enduring architecture is a delicate balance of factors – our clients’ needs and aspirations, our professional training and expertise, the history and nature of the site, the need for sustainable design – but also intuition and commonsense. Every design decision matters.
HMOA is experienced in apartments and multi-unit developments, commercial interiors, heritage, civil projects and master planning. Our Residential Process explains the stages of working with us on a new house.
