Our Practice

Maintaining the culture of one office across multiple studio locations.

DGSE is a nationwide practice with roots stemming back 50 years. Formed by a large team with diverse backgrounds and skills, we assist with a refined scope of design services, including Architecture, Interior Architecture, Masterplanning, and Landscape Architecture.

While our presence in Aotearoa has grown over the years, the culture hasn’t changed. We maintain the tight-knit, inclusive community from which we grew and consider it the foundation of our success.

Today, our studios are located in Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Palmerston North, Wellington, and Queenstown. Working as a collective, our people maintain strong connections across Aotearoa and work as one studio.

The greatest outcome of this collaborative working style is our ability to achieve the highest levels of design. Our work reflects the synergy of our talented architects, designers, and specialists.
