ahha Information

We dare to imagine a future that’s better for everyone. We are ahha. We are architects on a mission to radically transform the impact of our built environments. We’re creating a truly regenerative Aotearoa, through a bold new approach to designing and building spaces. We work to an ethically focussed framework that ensures every project is measurably sustainable - ecologically, socially, culturally and financially. Our ahha Impact Framework is a self-developed holistic approach across six domains of; Carbon, Ecology, Circularity, Health & Well-Being, Equity & Access and Community & Culture. ahha is a team of values-led designers, makers and facilitators. As a social enterprise and multi-disciplinary practice, we work alongside clients, community and iwi to undertake projects of all forms and sizes. We work across architecture, design, education, experimentation and art to reimagine spaces, ideas and objects. We actively push the needle forward by seeking opportunities beyond the typical procurement process and employing them to drive more positive outcomes. We strive to create places that delight, inspire, encourage connection, and enhance well-being.
