Kapiti Architectural Design Ltd was founded by Architectural Designer Rochelle in 2007

DESIGNED FOR LIVING

We love the Kapiti Coast - having lived at Paraparaumu Beach, Raumati, Raumati South, Waikanae and Waikanae Beach, Gary and I are now experiencing Sunny Otaki Beach. 

I specialise in designing new homes and house additions and alterations,  and renovating existing homes on the Kapiti Coast, and surrounding areas.  While, the area has its challenges with flooding areas etc, I believe a challenge is just a solution that is yet to be found!

My mantra 'Designed for Living' summarises my approach - I  strive to create design solutions that enhance the way individuals live in their homes by focusing on sustainable, innovative designs that reduce energy consumption and promote comfortable living.  Collaboration with clients and the wider building team is at the core of my process, as I believe that great projects are the result of teamwork.

I love my work.  There's nothing better than seeing a client happy with architecture that is going to transform their life.  Walking through a building that started as a creative thought is simply awesome!

When we're not busy in the office, Gary and I like nothing more than heading of in the campervan and exploring other nooks and crannies around New Zealand - Aotearoa.

Rochelle, qualified in 1994, is a Licensed Building Practitioner - Design 2, and is a Professional Member of ADNZ (Architectural Designers New Zealand).

New Home - Paraparaumu Beach

Hi Rochelle

I am sending you a pic of the outside of our new house.  It looks stunning and often people walk by and stop to admire it.  We love it.  Thankyou for designing it for us!

Alteration - Raumati South

Hi Rochelle
I have just had the plans printed at full size, so at last I can read them!
I must tell you that I am very impressed by the comprehensive presentation.
I have used the services of very many architects/designers over many years of professional practice. I can tell you that your presentation is up there with the best.
Let’s hope KCDC agree!!
I do not propose reading all of the 135 pages of specification!
Kind regards
Graham
