Sumich Chaplin are a high-end architectural practice based in Auckland. With a clear eye for quality designs, they aim to provide creative, enduring architecture based on a clear understanding and interpretation of a clients brief. Working with and appreciating the surrounding landscape and environment is at the forefront of what they do.

From the selection of materials through to the finished product, the practice prides themselves on an innovative approach to all stages of the design process. Having established a network of trusted and experienced professionals, the practice works closely with each party to ensure the best possible results.

Although their residential work is awe-inspiring, their recent design of the Studio Italia showroom – including the fluid lines of a central steel-and-oak staircase, shows their ability to branch into other spaces with inspired results.
