OUR STORY.
In 2010, Dylan and Sandra started their new architectural design business Edge Design Studio Limited, in Hamilton, New Zealand. After many years working on the tools of the trade, Dylan made the move into designing after recognising there was a gap in the industry for creative architectural designers, who held practical knowledge. In 2015, the family moved to the beautiful Wairarapa for a lifestyle change, and of course, the business moved also.
The office is located alongside the family home, with views over Lake Wairarapa and the Remutaka Forest. Edge Design Studio’s new Wairarapa client base has grown steadily, and, not wanting to lose Dylan, his Hamilton clients remain onboard, with Dylan travelling regularly to meet with them, and view their projects.
As a small business, we know our clients well, work alongside them on their projects and celebrate successful outcomes. We treat all our clients and their work as if it were our own home – we will offer sound, practical advice, while creating the home you have always imagined.
