Our Projects
Sustainable designs that serve people, protect nature, and last for generations
At Taiao Architecture and Engineering, every project is an opportunity to create something meaningful - for people and for the planet. Our portfolio spans a wide range of residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across New Zealand, each one shaped by our commitment to sustainability, practical performance, and creative design.
From steep-section homes and off-grid builds to architecturally driven collaborations and engineering-only engagements, we approach every project with the same care, clarity, and focus on long-term value.
Explore our project gallery below to see how we’ve helped clients turn vision into reality - and find inspiration for your own sustainable build.
Hihitahi Dreaming
One of our signature projects was the “Hihitahi Dreaming” holiday home in Paihia, Bay of Islands, a steep-site, three-storey build that showcased our ability to navigate complex environments with creativity and technical excellence.
Kerikeri Rammed Earth Home
Another proud achievement was delivering the “Rammed Earth Home”. This end-to-end project demonstrated our capacity to offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary design services under one roof.
Te Hangāruru Trail – Mountains to Sea
We supported this iconic 29.4km walking and cycle trail with geotechnical investigations and structural design for bridges and boardwalks across remote, ecologically sensitive terrain. Designed in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team, the trail connects people to place — weaving through the Waimarino landscape, across historic viaducts, and into the heart of a proposed new ecosanctuary.
