About us
Fabric is an award-winning Christchurch practice of architects and designers.
We specialise in shaping bold, beautiful and highly functional spaces that are perfect for their surroundings and for the people who call them home.
We know that your space is part of the fabric of your existence, and creating it is personal. So we also specialise in shaping a great experience.
We get to know you, you get to know us. We learn your needs, wants, lifestyle and the lie of the land. You enjoy the benefit of our two decades of knowhow as we smooth away the sharp edges of process. Led by registered architect Mitchell Coll, our tight-knit team thinks big, works the detail and explores the what-ifs, and together we make good things happen.
Some of our spaces feature low energy, environmentally-conscious design and prefabricated construction. Others demonstrate the extent of our capability with the most technically challenging sites. All of them include thoughtful spatial planning around exciting form, efficiencies and flow, and creativity that ties architecture, interior and landscape together with inspiration.
Your space will feel right, connect you to your environment, and look as though it’s always been there.
We’re humbled that our work has been recognised within the industry, including in the ADNZ National Supreme and People’s Choice Awards, and the NZIA Local Multi-unit and Small Project Awards.
For your dream space, let’s talk.
