What It Is

This is the official website of Theca Architecture, a local New Zealand architecture studio. The studio has a clear positioning: it specializes in high-end custom private residential design that meets passive house standards, creating healthy and energy-efficient homes. Its projects are primarily based across New Zealand regions including Christchurch and Wanaka, and it provides design consultation and custom services for local clients looking to build their own home.

Core Features & Pricing

The main purpose of the official website is to showcase the studio's past design projects, communicate its design philosophy, and allow clients to book a consultation via an online form. Currently, it offers a free 1-hour initial design consultation (originally priced at NZD 250). During this first meeting, designers will help clients sort out their needs and explore the potential of their project. Specific design fees for projects are quoted individually based on project scale and requirements, and no unified pricing is publicly listed on the website.
