Design that Adds Values
When it comes to bringing value to your vision, NB Architects is at the forefront. Every project begins by understanding your goals, ambitions, and the broader context, then designing with purpose to create spaces that are enduring and impactful.
Capability You Can Count On
With a South Canterbury base and a wide-reaching network of trusted consultants and contractors, we're well equipped to deliver projects across New Zealand.
We offer full architectural services — from concept and feasibility through to consent, documentation, and construction observation. Our portfolio spans:
No matter the scale or complexity, we bring a consistent focus on quality, practicality, and client experience.
Experience That Shows
Our work is visible throughout South Canterbury and beyond, from civic hubs to commercial spaces to high-end homes. While the outcomes speak for themselves, we take just as much pride in the process.
Clients often tell us they felt heard, informed, and supported at every stage. We value strong, ongoing relationships, with clients, contractors, consultants, and local authorities, and see collaboration as key to every successful outcome.
People Behind the Practice
NB Architects is led by Principal Architect Leon Browning and Managing Director Joshua Newlove, supported by a team with deep design and technical experience.
Our practice includes registered architects, architectural designers, and a landscape architect with a background in urban and residential development. We are members of NZIA, NZRAB, ADNZ, and NZGBC and bring a balance of big-picture thinking and attention to detail to every project.
Our vision, experience, and approach set us apart and shape the way we work with you.
