Custom
architectural design & draughting.

Our quality plans, drawings, and specifications lay the groundwork for successful construction.

Who we are

As architectural designers based in Hawke's Bay, we are guided by Homestar principles for sustainable, accessible, and low-maintenance buildings, while also considering practicality and budget.

It's not just a project... it's a shared journey.

Specialising in new homes and residential alterations, our experienced designer creates comfortable and innovative living spaces tailored to your needs.

Using Vectorworks® CAD design software, we listen to you and translate your ideas into actionable plans with 3D images and renders that align with your vision.

What they say

"We had specific requests, the house needed to be built off site & transported to our site. It was important to us to have this done in a timely manner to reduce the stress for everyone. We found the support exceptional right from the beginning, from the drafting of plans to the final signoff. I felt included in the project and consulted at every step in the process. Our daughter's house is more than what we had hoped for, and for us, the whole experience has been exceptional. We highly recommend Cilla and the team at Blueprint Studio." Paul & Julie Rowlands
"Working from my own concept sketches these were developed into excellent construction drawings for my SIP panel home. Consent requirements were handled with patience & professionalism, as my own Grey water design was outside the norm and challenging to gain consent. We would not hesitate to recommend Cilla & Blueprint Studio to anyone wanting to design & build." Ralph Crewe
"You and Tony covered all the paperwork and practical aspects of the consent process between you, and this meant that any issues were handled by yourselves rather than me. Overall the consent process was of minimal hassle to me because of this, so I would recommend the service." Leonard Poon
