About

We take a holistic, collaborative approach to working with our clients. We know building meaningful relationships creates trust – and trust creates extraordinary results.

We care about our work, our team and our culture, and that shows in our results. We strive for excellence in all we do, and we deliver on our word.

Our History

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.

Our Approach

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.

Client-Centric Collaboration

We begin every project by listening to and understanding our clients’ goals. Through open communication and strong partnerships, we ensure that each design aligns with their vision while exceeding expectations. Whether working with in-house architects or external partners, our focus remains on achieving seamless integration and exceptional outcomes.

Integrated Expertise

Our teams of building services engineers and architects work together as a cohesive unit. This interdisciplinary collaboration ensures every element, from system design to aesthetics, is harmonised to deliver high-performing, sustainable buildings.

Commitment to Sustainability

We prioritise sustainable design in every project, employing advanced techniques such as energy efficiency reviews, carbon assessments, and environmental modelling. Our goal is to minimise environmental impact while maximising long-term value for our clients.

Innovation and Technical Excellence

By combining creative thinking with technical precision, we craft solutions that stand the test of time. Our designs are underpinned by cutting-edge technologies and best practices that deliver efficiency, safety, and reliability from concept to completion. At S&T, our approach reflects our commitment to excellence, ensuring every project we undertake contributes meaningfully to the built environment.
