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.

He and his teams worked on housing new builds and alterations, light commercial and retail projects..  After completing his Architectural Design Diploma, he successfully transitioned into a new role as a Designer and quickly gained a reputation as a creative and skilled Architectural Designer.

Dylan brings his experience with both sides of the design and build process to every project, and his clients appreciate the ability he has to plan ahead, keep within budget, offer alternate ideas to consider, provide honest advice.  Builders and councils compliment Dylan on the quality of the working drawings, and his attention to detail.
