Our designs embrace the creation of places for people. Places to work, live, learn and play that enhance the quality of the built environment.

One of the most important factors that allows us to differentiate ourselves from other practices is our people.
Our architects, designers, technicians and building consultants are a unique group of professionals with a wealth of local and international experience. Our diversity allows us to provide our clients with a broad skill set and a wide range of approaches to problem solving.
We are conscious of continually enhancing the talent, leadership and creativity of our people and seek to maintain this difference through strategic investment in personal and professional development.
Our leaders guide our offices and provide the vital link between our clients and our talent. As a group of architects, designers and consultants we believe that we can make a difference in the way people live and work.";
words['text4'] = "sustainable design approach
IGNITE Architects is a founding member of the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC). This involvement with the NZGBC has allowed our Senior Architects to remain at the forefront of the ESD approach within New Zealand.
We evaluate all our projects against 8 environmentally sustainable design (ESD) principles:
Management
Indoor Environmental Quality
Energy
Transport
Water
Materials
Land Use and Ecology
Emissions
To be most effective an ESD design approach should be considered from the outset. It need not necessarily add significant cost and can achieve considerable savings during the life cycle of the building.";
