We are proudly locally owned and the stewards of a century-old legacy.
Stephenson & Turner New Zealand was founded with a vision rooted in International Modernism, championed by our founder, Sir Arthur Stephenson. For over 100 years, we have been a leader in New Zealand architecture, known for our expertly crafted designs, including large commercial offices and healthcare facilities that combine elegance with precision.
In April 2022, the four offices in Auckland, Waikato, Wellington, and Christchurch transitioned to independent companies under the central S&T Group. While Stephenson & Turner New Zealand Ltd continues to uphold the brand and manage shared services, each office now operates autonomously, leveraging its unique strengths and regional expertise to foster growth and innovation.
At S&T, our approach is built on collaboration, innovation, and precision. We believe in working closely with clients, architects, and stakeholders to create designs that are functional, sustainable, and tailored to each project’s unique requirements.
