About Rogan Nash Architects

Architecture for a lifetime of living.

Rogan Nash Architects is an award-winning Auckland based residential architecture and interiors practice, founded by Directors Kate Rogan and Eva Nash, both New Zealand registered architects and Fellows of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, bringing twenty-five years of experience each to every project.

We work with private clients on new homes and renovations across greater Auckland, from heritage villa and bungalow transformations in Herne Bay and Remuera to holiday homes on Waiheke Island, in the Coromandel, and at Mount Maunganui.

Considered once, loved for a lifetime, our work has been recognised with a New Zealand Institute of Architects Heritage Award for Administrator House, multiple awards for our houses including the New Zealand Institute of Architects Auckland Architecture Award for Open + Shut on Waiheke Island.

We guide every project from concept through to construction, with a quiet, sensory approach to design that responds closely to how our clients actually want to live.
