Macfie Architecture

About

Macfie Architecture is an Auckland practice established in 2006, specialising in heritage renovations and contemporary new-builds. We are double ADNZ Resene Design Award winners, 2025. 

Led by Michael and Rebecca Macfie, we work on projects of every scale: a bathroom, a villa extension, a new family home. Each one receives the same care and attention.

Our work spans Auckland's character homes, the villas and bungalows that define the city's most loved neighbourhoods, through to contemporary new-builds and everything in between. We offer a comprehensive design service from the first sketch to consents and construction documentation, tailored to every project and budget.

"We're a family practice and we work with all sorts of people on all sorts of projects. From big dreams on modest budgets to everything in between, beautiful architecture shouldn't be out of reach." - Michael Macfie

Macfie Architectural Design went above and beyond many times. We are so thrilled with the design and cannot wait to see our dream new-build come to life.
Jyniska - Whitford, Auckland
Macfie Architectural Design delivered to a very tight deadline for the renovation of our family home when others couldn't. This included full project specification, design memorandum, building council liaison and a recommendation for builders, who we also ended up using. We couldn't have done it without them.
Jonathan - St Helier's
As a completely inexperienced and terribly time-poor client, our decision to go with Macfie Architectural Design turned out to be a great one. They were very patient and professional throughout the process, guiding us in terms of possibilities and expectations, and were very transparent about costs all the way through. Macfie Architectural Design’s detail and organisation were superb, and we couldn't have had a better experience and a more beautiful new home.

As a professional developer that has worked with many architects and designers over the years, Macfie Architectural Design make the process seamless. They have designed two houses for me now, and I have another three for them to complete. Their work speaks for itself.
Mandy - Wanaka, Otago
Macfie Architectural Design created a fluid and architecturally stunning addition to our Mt Eden bungalow. While other designers and architects made us nervous as first time renovators - they came to the table with numerous ideas, and made the process - from concept to delivery, a total joy.
Andrew - Mt Eden
Macfie Architectural Design have been involved in a number of projects for our Property Development company. We have a lot of experience working with different architects and consultants, but Macfie Architectural Design’s service stands out for their professionalism, integrity and skill at producing the work required.
