Rohan Collett Architects Our approach is collaborative. We believe constraints inspire creativity. Sustainability is inherent in our solutions.

We forge close relationships and work in partnership with our clients to achieve results that are tailored to their specific needs and aspirations. Engaged intelligently, challenges of brief, budget and context are opportunities that can inspire innovative solutions. In order to naturally influence year-round light, temperatures, circulation, and comfort, we allow the characteristics of the site a

nd its natural environment to shape our ideas and decisions. We also strive for aesthetically sustainable designs. We carefully marry form and function, proportion, play of colour and texture, and changes in light and spatial volume to achieve solutions with timeless appeal, unaffected by trends.

Work in Progress at Castle Hill

The team at Benton Construction are making good progress on this alpine chalet project. It’s great to see it taking shape against that incredible mountain backdrop.

Resource consent has been granted for this project, developed in collaboration with KR Construction. With Homestar 6 certification, each of these six townhouses delivers comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term value — ideal for both owner-occupiers and investors.

Looking forward to seeing it take shape.

Great to see one of our projects feature in this latest issue of HOME New Zealand, on sale now nationwide where good magazines are sold.

The clients often use their roof deck to watch the storms roll in. They would have seen a cracker this evening — the perfect weather for curling up with a beautiful magazine!

Delighted to have one of our projects featured in and on the cover of the latest Abode Magazine — out now.

For the first time since its completion in 2020, this RCA-designed Lakeside Villa in Queenstown became available for purchase.

According to the agent, it was a short and sweet campaign that resulted in a premium sale price for the vendor, and a wake of high demand for more properties of this calibre in this location.

So, if you're a developer or builder interested in multi-unit projects in Queenstown, please get in touch.

And of course, if you're interested in your own architectural bolt hole in Queenstown, we'd love to help that dream come true.

After 13 years in business, we have a website!

That we have thrived for so long without one is testament, we believe, to our creative, curious, committed, and collaborative spirit — our core values, which you can read about on our website — resulting in a generous stream of word-of-mouth and repeat clients. Thank you!

Although our website is a work in progress, with more projects, professional photos, and detailed information about our services to be added, we’re excited to finally have an online presence in this way.

Please check it out, share it, and let us know what you think.

That's what we like to see — an RCA design as the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. A double rainbow, no less. An amazing photo taken by our client's daughter.

Nice to return from a Fiordland hunting trip today to an approved resource consent for this new house on the Christchurch Port Hills overlooking the Southern Alps.

Just over one and a half days to erect the Potius floor, wall and roof SIP panels for this two-level house on a steep site in Wellington. Well done Clint, Stephen and team.

Great progress being made early on day 2 of the installation of the structurally insulated panels (SIPS) for this Wellington house we designed. The roof is scheduled to be installed next week, the windows and doors the week after. We estimate that by using prefabricated floor, wall and roof panels the construction program will be reduced by 3-4 months. These panels will be erected within 3 days.
