Macfie Architecture is an Auckland residential practice established in 2006, specialising in heritage villa and bungalow renovations, character home extensions and contemporary new-builds. We are double ADNZ Resene Design Award winners, 2025, and our work has been published in homestyle, NZ House & Garden and Viva.

Led by Michael and Rebecca Macfie, we work on projects of every scale: a bathroom, a villa extension, a new family home, a bach for generations to come.

Our work spans Auckland’s character homes, the villas and bungalows that define the city’s most loved neighbourhoods, through to contemporary new-builds further afield, from beach houses in Northland to ski chalets in Central Otago. We offer a full design service from the first sketch through to consents and construction documentation, and know Auckland’s special character and heritage consent requirements well.

“We are a family practice, and we understand that a home is more than architecture. It is where your life happens, so how you live shapes every line, from the first sketch to the finished house.” Michael Macfie, Architectural Director
