Profile
Rogan Nash Architects is a residential architecture and interiors practice based in Grey Lynn, Auckland, founded in 2012 by Directors Eva Nash and Kate Rogan. Between them, they bring fifty years of combined experience designing new build houses, renovations and additions, and interior design for clients across Auckland, Waiheke Island, Matakana, the Tasman District, and further afield in Kerikeri, Waipu, Clevedon, Mount Maunganui, and the Rotorua Lakes District.
Our projects come in all shapes, scales, and budgets. What they share is a commitment to good design — considered, purposeful, and shaped around the people who live there.
Our work spans new homes, heritage villa and bungalow renovations, additions, and select boutique commercial and hospitality projects — each one shaped by a fully integrated architecture and interior design service, from concept through to construction. Both Directors are NZ registered architects (NZRAB) and Fellows of the New Zealand Institute of Architects (FNZIA), and we are committed to design excellence, sustainability, and creating homes that genuinely reflect how our clients live.

Services
We love Architecture!
We offer the full scope of architecture services, which we can tailor to suit you. We work on a wide range of residential projects: from subdivisions, to multiple houses, through to renovations, new beach houses and city homes. Our passion is creating a home you love.
What about the inside and other bits?
We don’t just design the shell of the building. We design the rooms and items which also make up the architecture: like your kitchen and cabinetry, pool and pool house and outdoor fireplace. We will look at materials and colours – we think these spaces greatly effect your love for your home, and reflect the way you like to live.
Fancy a new sofa?
We also offer Interior Design, and can help you find the perfect soft furnishings and furniture to compliment the rest of the project. Design and interiors all in one place – from your vision to your move-in.
We have been there.
Our directors, Eva and Kate, have lived in Rogan Nash Architects renovations and now, new houses. We understand the stresses of being a client and can bring our experiences to you.
