Each of PAUA's new homes and renovations are a reflection of our clients, their lifestyle, and their place in the world.
For many people, building a new house is a once-in-a-lifetime event. PAUA Architects can be your trusted partner throughout the whole experience. We can answer any questions you have, and help you understand each step of the process.
The journey begins with a conversation, to discuss your aspirations, needs and values, and to explain how we would like to work with you.
CIVIC
Architecture
CIVIC & CULTURAL SPACES
collaborative approach
A common thread amongst PAUA's civic project work, is the importance of good consultation with diverse groups of users, owners, instigators and funders.
Great design and architecture are all about the people who will use and inhabit the spaces. We know from experience that more collaboration and more kōrero with clients and communities, will lead to better design and better outcomes.

METEOR
THEATRE
PAUA Architects worked with the community trust on the Meteor Theatre for over 10 years, initially providing a four-stage plan to improve the historically important and CBD gateway building. Projects have included the creation of the black box theatre, mezzanine co-working space, and new entrance and foyer.
st. peter’s church cambridge
The winning entry in a 2019-2020 design competition, PAUA Architects' design for a new church for St. Peter’s Parish in Cambridge reflects the special character of the parish, St. Peter as patron saint, and the multicultural nature of the modern congregation.
EMBASSY
PARK RE-DEVELOPMENT
PAUA’s design team collaborated closely with the community to deliver a unique and dynamic park that celebrates all things Rocky Horror, embraces the theme of a playful city, while also acknowledging the built heritage.
project management
The nature of Architectural work is highly collaborative, and the PAUA team have extensive experience coordinating and managing projects on clients' behalf.
While larger projects frequently involve independent project managers, Architects understand the whole of the design and construction process probably better than anyone, and are well placed to provide professional advice and assistance throughout your project.
FEASIBILITY
STUDIES
If you are looking to test ideas or establish a business case in order to seek funding, PAUA can assist with a Feasibility Study.
This could be as simple as an initial concept design and an estimate of the construction cost, or we can go into detail, consider additional options, and pull in other consultants to explore the feasibility in more depth.
