ABout Us

At Modal Architecture, we design high-performance homes that enhance the way people live. Founded by Sam, in 2021, Modal has grown into a collaborative network of architectural designers and creative specialists spread across New Zealand and Melbourne.

Together, we deliver exceptional residential projects across New Zealand, creating homes that are not only visually striking but also comfortable, energy-efficient, and built for longevity.

Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of modern living and the unique environmental challenges of each site. We work closely with clients, builders, and consultants to ensure that every project balances innovative design with practical functionality.

From contemporary new builds to thoughtful renovations, we craft spaces that respond to the landscape and the people who inhabit them.

By integrating sustainable building principles, cutting-edge technology, and refined aesthetics, Modal Architecture continues to set new benchmarks for quality and performance in residential design. No matter where you are in New Zealand, our team is committed to making your vision a reality.

Let’s create something exceptional together.

how we started

Modal Architecture started with the goal of creating high-performance, sustainable lifestyle homes.

Our kiwi founder started his career in New Zealand's largest multi-disciplinary practice. Staring off his career working on the Southern Response Housing Initiative to rebuild Christchurch homes affected by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake honed his renovation skills and gave him experience across a large number of design styles in a short period of time.

Since then, he has gone on to work across all scales, from Wellington central apartments, a design and build start-up, and into another architectural start-up that honed it's skills created high quality medium density housing in the Wellington Region.

All in all - his experience has led to creating a number of established relationships with building companies and consultants around the country. These nationwide relationships have helped reduce time spent coordinating, replacing this with well-understood workflows across a range of disciplines and councils in New Zealand.
