#scopearchitects

Scope Architects creates considered, client-centred architecture that enhances everyday living. Based in the QB Building at 208 Ponsonby Road, our small, dedicated team works closely with homeowners to design homes that feel personal, respond intelligently to their site and stand the test of time.

We specialise in residential projects including new houses, major renovations, kitchen and bathroom alterations, extensions, heritage-sensitive adaptations and second-generation family homes. Every project begins with listening. We take time to understand how you live, what matters most to your family and how the house should evolve with you over the years ahead.

Our approach balances creativity with practicality. We pay close attention to natural light, orientation, flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, material honesty and environmental performance. Whether designing a compact urban infill, a family home on a sloping section, a character villa restoration that respects its original proportions, or a contemporary new build that maximises views and privacy, the result is architecture that feels calm, purposeful and uniquely yours.

We guide clients through the full process from initial concept sketches and feasibility studies, through detailed planning and building consent documentation, to construction observation and handover. Clear communication, realistic budgets and collaborative problem-solving keep the journey enjoyable rather than stressful. We work with trusted builders, engineers, surveyors and interior designers to deliver cohesive, well-resolved projects.

Sustainability is embedded in our thinking. We prioritise passive design principles, effective insulation, high-performance glazing, natural ventilation and material choices that reduce long-term energy use and maintenance. Many of our homes achieve comfortable, healthy living environments with modest ongoing running costs.

With six five-star Google reviews and a portfolio of completed projects across Auckland, clients consistently value our thoughtful design process, attention to detail, responsiveness and ability to translate their vision into spaces they love coming home to.

If you are considering a new home, an extension that better suits your growing family, a renovation that refreshes a much-loved property, or sensitive alterations to a heritage building, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your ideas.
