    We believe that architecture should always be centered on the people it surrounds. Let's partner together to create the spaces you inhabit for work, for family, for play, for rest - spaces to serve you and the people that are important to you.

    "Last, Loneliest, Loveliest, Exquisite, Apart"

    – Rudyard Kipling, 1922

    Dalgleish Architects Ltd studio is located in Whanganui on Te Ika Au Maui, the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. The Awa, the majestic Whanganui River, runs from the mountains to the sea. The city is located from the river mouth along the river, running inland to Upokongaro.

    We work throughout the motu (nation), with many projects and relationships in the Whanganui, Taranaki, Manawatū and Hawkes Bay locales in particular.

    Featured Project:

    Cracroft House

    Situated above Whanganui, with views towards the mouth of the awa, the Cracroft house is a family home which makes the most of the view while also retaining privacy for the people who live there. Two pavilion forms – one public and one private – bookend the central hub which can be opened or closed to guard against the westerly wind.
