Over the last 30 years Leuschke Group has created many of New Zealand's most distinctive buildings.

During that time we have earned the trust and respect of our clients to become one of the country's leading architectural practices.

Our work is remarkably diverse - large and small, private and public, for communities and individuals - with particular expertise in luxury residences, apartment developments and boutique commercial projects.

Building Relationships

We know that our clients place great value in the working relationships we build with them. Taking time to understand their business needs and aspirations has resulted in a high proportion of repeat business.

We have been able to provide consistency to our clients through the longstanding directors who have developed a deep understanding of our client’s specific needs, expectations and aspirations.

Designing Value

Good Architecture adds value and our ambition is always to create value for our clients through good design, through increasing site viability, improving land values and creating a better living and built environment. We enjoy what we do and delight in seeing a finished project that works for the client, site and community.

We approach each project with an open mind.  Our value lies in the ability to understand and exploit a specific site's constraints and opportunities. We are proud of our record of achieving more for our clients than they had anticipated and our ability to generate both enhanced value and design quality.
