Arkhē Architecture — Residential Architecture Studio, Tauranga & Christchurch, New Zealand

Arkhē is a residential architecture studio based in Tauranga and Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand. We design homes that respond to people and place — rural, coastal and urban — each shaped by its environment and the lives it holds.
