Description
Hoogerbrug Architects
Boutique architectural design practice bringing bold, sustainable, and thoughtful design to Hawke's Bay homes and commercial spaces.
About Hoogerbrug Architects
Hoogerbrug Architects is a Hastings-based architectural practice led by principal architect Karel Hoogerbrug. With a reputation for innovative, site-responsive design, the studio works across residential, commercial, and community projects throughout the Hawke's Bay region. Their approach blends contemporary design thinking with a deep respect for the local landscape, climate, and the unique character of each brief.
Whether it's a new build, renovation, or a complex multi-use development, Hoogerbrug Architects brings a hands-on, collaborative process that ensures every project reflects the aspirations of the client while responding intelligently to its environment.
Services Offered
Residential Architecture
From contemporary new homes to sensitive heritage renovations, the team designs residences that are practical, energy-efficient, and full of character. Each home is designed to maximise natural light, ventilation, and connection to outdoor living — essential qualities for the Hawke's Bay lifestyle.
Commercial & Community Projects
Hoogerbrug Architects has experience delivering commercial fitouts, office buildings, hospitality venues, and community facilities. Their portfolio includes projects that balance functionality with striking visual presence.
Renovations & Additions
The practice has a particular talent for breathing new life into existing buildings, whether it's extending a family home, reconfiguring a layout, or modernising a structure while retaining its original charm.
Why Locals Choose Hoogerbrug Architects
Clients value the personal, attentive approach that comes with working with a boutique practice. Karel and the team take time to understand how people live, work, and move through space — and that understanding shows up in every detail. There's a focus on sustainability, with designs that consider passive solar gain, natural ventilation, and material longevity as standard rather than optional extras.
The studio's award-winning portfolio and strong local reputation speak to the quality and consistency of their work. Being based in Hastings means they have an intimate understanding of the region's building conditions, council requirements, and the best local contractors to bring a project to life.
