Chow:Hill Architects

About

We believe every design tells a story, every environment creates an experience, and every project is founded on collaborative relationships and trust.

The Chow:Hill team designs with purpose, shaping possibilities to turn a project vision into reality.

Our desire is to deliver environments that evoke a sense of identity, inspire genuine engagement, and are reflective of the cultural, social, and commercial needs of our clients and their communities.

During our 30 years in the design industry, we have delivered an extensive portfolio of projects in the Commercial, Health, Education, Community, Civic and Public Realm, and every project sits within a wider societal and environmental context.

We build positive partnerships, foster respect and understanding, deliver sustainable outcomes, and design for long-term growth.

Here at Chow:Hill, great design is only the beginning.

Thank you for your excellent work. The materials used show the exploration of the stories shared by Ngai Te Ahi which have in turn become opportunities to create an architecture that is, at its core, meaningful to the community.

I wanted to acknowledge how good the Day Ward is looking. Your design has really made the most of the place. It feels bright, open, therapeutic and modern.

Chow Hill certainly has the trust of the Ministry of Education and our board. They have vision and know how to sell challenging ideas in ways that make sense and build belief.
