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, the Coromandel, Mount Maunganui, the Rotorua Lakes District, and Port Waikato.
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!
From the first sketch to the final design decision, we offer a full scope of architectural services — thoughtfully tailored to you. Our work spans a wide range of residential projects: new build city homes, lifestyle and rural properties, heritage villa and bungalow renovations, and additions. We also design boutique commercial spaces and hospitality projects with the same care and creativity. Whatever the project, our passion is the same: creating a place you truly love.
What about the inside and other bits?
We don’t just design the shell of the building. We design the rooms and spaces that make up the architecture too: your kitchen and cabinetry, pool and pool house, and outdoor fireplace. We think carefully about materials and colours, because these decisions shape how much you love your home, and how well it reflects the way you live.
Bespoke design, built around you
We also offer Interior Design as part of an integrated service — working through layout, materials, joinery, and finishes alongside the architecture, rather than as a separate add-on. It means one studio carries your project from concept through to construction, with nothing lost in translation between the two.
We have been there.
Our directors, Eva and Kate, have lived through their own new-build homes and renovations. We know the excitement, the stress, and the thousand decisions along the way — and we bring that lived experience to support you through yours.
