Design by nature,
materiality & form.

When we combine the beauty of raw nature with high quality materials, crafted with finesse and alluring form – then exceptional design is borne.

Where others see roadblocks, we see the opportunity of space, shape, form, and material – generating value out of nothingness.

We work collaboratively with our clients to create immersive, physical, tactile and spatial experiences which harness the wild beauty of the natural environment.

We see nature, materiality and form as the building blocks to exceptional architecture. Talk to us about your project today.

What is a Resource Consent and how does it differ from a Building Consent? How do I know if I need one or the other or none at all?

We can help you navigate this complex web of local and central governmental laws to simplify the process and minimize the hurdles between you and your new home.

Contact us today to clarify whether your proposed development requires a Resource Consent, a Building Consent or neither.

Minimizing climate emissions has become the center of everything we do at international, national, governmental, corporate and individual level.

But where do you even start when it’s your own home and how do you know if what you are doing is the best way to minimize your emissions?

We work very closely with main contractors and get them involved early on in the project. We design out wherever possible products that are scarce or products that are suffering from significant escalation in price.

We sit down at concept design stage with main contractors to establish where risks are and design accordingly.

Get in touch and we will send you an up to the minute assessment of general building m² rates and a breakdown of known cost and supply issues on the island.

Pepper is a Waiheke based studio, specialising in Waiheke architecture and design.

Michael Pepper, Managing Director

After gaining experience working in Auckland, Michael Pepper spent almost a decade working as an architect in Berlin and London before establishing pepper architects.

Pepper Architects focused on residential, hospitality, and bespoke commercial projects.

We provide clients with simple, sculptural and poetic solutions that are a reflection of the occupants, the place and the spirit of that place.

We prefer to use raw materials that invite the patina of age, giving character and warmth that is carried throughout the entire design process, from initial concept to the execution of the finest details.

Any project will have practical spatial requirements, cost, construction and delivery constraints.

We believe design solutions anchored in fully collaborative relationships between clients, consultants and the myriad of contractors will deliver the best outcome.

We listen to our clients, we work collaboratively with good people to deliver great outcomes we are all proud of.

We would be happy to discuss any new project opportunities and welcome you to make contact.
