McCoy Wixon Architects
About us
For over 60 years, McCoy Wixon Architects have been designing stand-out architecture throughout the South Island of New Zealand.
That experience has underlined a fact: that listening and fully understanding the client's needs determines a project's success.
McCoy Wixon Architects are known for designing exceptional residential homes, commercial buildings and educational facilities. We are a design-led practice. That means each project is conceptualised by working through a process, where design solutions address each point in the client’s brief. The result is structures that function beautifully, impact appropriately with their environment and – most importantly – fulfil (often exceed) the client’s expectations.
