Richard Furze

As the son of a well-known Taranaki building family, I grew up on a building site and proved to be cheap labour while at school.

After spending six years in the design industry in New Plymouth, I moved north to Auckland 12 years ago and set up my own business.

I would describe my style as predominantly contemporary, with an emphasis on simplicity of design. I work closely with my clients to ensure that each project is individually designed to meet their unique needs and requirements, while reflecting their personality throughout.

When approaching renovations, I like to consider the existing character of the home and often work to restore at the same time as renovate as part of the project, preserving the integrity of the original home.

As well as being a member of ADNZ (Architectural Designers New Zealand) and President for their Auckland/Northland Branch, I engage in ongoing education to stay at the forefront of industry issues and information.
