    Haere Mai

    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:

    He Awa Ora – Living River

    He Awa Ora is a unique exhibition of ancient and new taonga (treasures) that tell the story of Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River and its people. The Awa and iwi feature in a narrative supported by taonga Maori, encompassing the past, the present and the future. He Awa Ora brings together ancient and contemporary taonga to tell the story of Te Awa Tupua, the Whanganui River, and the stories of it’s people. The narrative has been told using the voice of the river.

    Gonville Library and Café

    The concept for the Gonville Library was “the living room of the suburb”. This led to consideration of how parents and children could use the space differently but concurrently. We are very proud that the Gonville Library is now referred to as “the Heart of Gonville”.
