Tailored
Residential Design.

We are a residential housing company and we have dealt with RW Design for a couple of years now. We once had our own in-house architects but found this problematic. We were recommended RW Design services, and we have had a great relationship through this time. RW Design are very professional and accommodating. They are very easy to deal with and their response time is excellent. Their knowledge base is very high and have a very good understanding of delivering details that work and can be understood.

They have a good relationship with all the councils we deal with, especially the Selwyn council which we have a been credited a professional partnership. This partnership can only be achieved by having all the correct information at the consenting stage. Our collaboration for projects is an easy process and is on a level that achieves excellent results for our clients and ourselves. The level of communication is excellent and the problem solving required is minimal due to their high level of competency. We fully recommend RW Design for projects in our field.

Robin was very relaxed, and he would listen to your ideas. He was great when we would ask for suggestions, he had great ideas, and we would always talk them through. I’d certainly recommend working with them; we had a great relationship. He didn’t go away from our design; he didn’t outshine our idea with his ideas, Robin would sit down and listen to you; he was just a great person to deal with.

They are a great company to work with, and they have always been good with us.

We wanted to share how happy we are with the work RW Design did for us. The team was great at keeping in touch, really friendly, and open to different ideas. They managed to make the most out of our space and created a design that fits our place perfectly. We’re amazed at how they turned our ideas into reality so smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We contacted Robin after a recommendation from another architect. It turned out to be the best thing ever for us. The very first design was two storey. On sighting the first draft, it was almost perfect. Robin is a great listener, who interprets our specific design wishes and is always enpointe.

We have built five houses with Robin White. They have been architecturally diverse, with some difficult roof lines, unique spaces that have all been wonderful to live in. Robin has always crafted the specific designs that we wished to achieve. In fact he is a master of design. Easily approached and he listens, advises and will always ask the right questions to help steer you on the creation of your style choices. Communication is two way when planning, and as easy as a phone call.

When it comes to designing a home or commercial space Robin is our go-to person. We have a long history together now, starting with an alteration some years back on our second home and everything Robin has done for us over time we still love. His ideas work for us, and one of the things that I like about Robin is he knows how to maximise nature and positions houses and rooms to suit the sun – that’s something you get as an extra. When it comes to fulfilling the requirements of a brief, Robin understands us – if you consider our holiday home as an example, we got every element we asked for...and some.

I would absolutely recommend Robin – the best thing is to meet for a chat with your ideas, and a design that often begins as a few sketches on a piece of paper will evolve from there.

As a building company specialising in energy-efficient and passive homes, we feel confident in referring clients to RW Design for their expertise in this area. What truly sets them apart, however, is their team approach. They understand and foster a collaborative relationship between the client, designer, and builder, ensuring the best possible outcome for the client.

RW Design also offers personal attention backed by the resources of a dedicated team of designers and support staff, meaning good communication and timely progress of design projects.

I have worked with Robin and RW Design for over ten years, collaborating on projects, preparing resource consent applications for mutual clients and for a personal project, adding a secondary dwelling to our property. Robin and team at RW Design are approachable, practical, and always seek to develop designs that work. I enjoy the professional, friendly and relaxed approach to projects. Robin and the team have a depth of knowledge and experience that assists with design innovation and finding solutions to site constraints. They have a streamlined process for developing design through to securing approvals. Always a pleasure to collaborate with.
