ABOUT US
Atkinson Harwood Architecture is an Architectural Practice based in Napier, New Zealand.
Building design with sustainable principles is what drives our company. We endeavor to educate and encourage our clients to incorporate as many energy-efficient methods and materials into their design to achieve increased building performance and quality. The New Zealand Green Building Council's Homestar framework is a holistic tool for quantifying a home's performance and Sol Atkinson is a Certified Homestar Assessor.
We have been operating since July 2016, and have since gained an extensive portfolio in a wide range of residential and commercial projects. We offer the full architectural design process to our clients from Concept Design through to Contract Administration and Observation.
Our services are offered to both the local Hawke's Bay area and the wider North Island.
Atkinson Harwood Architecture Ltd is an NZIA practice, which utilises NZIA standard forms of Agreement for Services and Construction contracts.
