We are an architectural consultancy based in Christchurch.
We specialise in creating confortable homes, using natural material, under Kahnopy Homes; and medium-high density developments, integrated into a local context, under Kahnopy Development. We design energy efficient and resilient buildings.
We weave Swiss architectural expertise with the kiwi experience.
“We believe densification should prioritise sustainability, community, functionality and creating spaces for a better future.”
