Hannah showed a unique ability to quickly understand our vision for our renovation and her plans delivered that extremely well. She was attentive and a good listener. Being a great problem-solver, Hannah was always willing to find a way to make things possible. Hannah was always relaxed and friendly and responsive whenever we contacted her. We felt she was genuinely interested in our project, even though it was relatively small. She was a pleasure to work with.

Hannah and the Studio H team were so incredible to work with designing our new home. Hannah came out to our site and immediately understood what we wanted to accomplish with the design to capture the views and surrounding landscapes. Hannah provided so much guidance and advice throughout the entire design process and even supported us with recommendations for local trades and services. Would have no hesitation recommending Hannah and the Studo H team. Super professional, unbelievably talented and friendly and if you re lucky you'll get to meet her adorable pups too!

Studio H Design was great to deal with. Being our first experience in fitting out a commercial space for our MYM Pilates studio. Challenges and stresses were eased by Hannah's experience, advice and professionalism. I would highly recommend Studio H Design to anyone

Hannah was an exceptional architect. She made the process of designing our new home very enjoyable. The plans themselves were very detailed, which my husband who is a builder (who built our home) really appreciated. Hannah was very quick at responding to emails and efficient when we needed minor variations for the council. Highly recommend!

Every project is unique, with timelines shaped by its scale, complexity, and council consent requirements. While some projects have been completed in as little as a few weeks, others unfold over a year or two, to ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered.

As a general guide for a residential home :

• Concept Design — 2-3 weeks

• Developed Design — 3-4 weeks

• Detailed Design — 3-4 weeks

• Construction Documentation & Consent Application — 1-2 weeks

• Time in Council —4-6 weeks

The best way to understand what this looks like for your project is to connect with us and we can walk you through the process in relation to your exact project.

Every project is unique, and our fees reflect its scale, complexity, and level of involvement.

How We Charge

• Fixed Fees – Most projects follow a set fee, confirmed after concept design for cost certainty.

• Percentage-Based Fees – For evolving projects, fees may be a percentage of the construction cost for flexibility.

External costs like council fees and engineering reports aren’t included, but we’ll guide you through these.

We keep the process clear and upfront. Get in touch and we’ll talk through your specific project.

Unlike a draughtsperson, we don’t just draw plans - we design homes that are functional, beautiful, and built to last.

• Holistic Design – We consider aesthetics, flow, and sustainability.

• End-to-End Service – From concept to construction, we guide the entire process.

• Regulatory Expertise – We ensure compliance and smooth approvals.

• Tailored to You – Every design is crafted around your lifestyle.

With Studio H, you get more than a set of plans—you get a home designed with intention and expertise.

1. Let’s Talk – We start with a chat to understand your vision, budget, and needs.

2. Concept Design – We sketch ideas and refine the design until it feels right.

3. Detailed Design – We develop materials, finishes, and technical details.

4. Approvals – We handle council permits and ensure compliance.

5. Construction Docs – We create the plans builders need to bring your project to life.

6. Build Support – We stay involved during construction to keep things on track.

7. Handover – We make sure every detail is right before you move in.

At Studio H, design is a team effort—we work closely with you to shape spaces that reflect your vision and lifestyle. From the first conversation to final handover, we prioritise open communication, ensuring you’re involved in every step.

We also collaborate with contractors, engineers, and specialists, fostering a seamless process from concept to completion. By bringing the right people together, we create designs that are not only beautiful but also practical and well-executed.

Great design comes from great collaboration—let’s create something exceptional together.

Yes! While we specialise in new residential builds, we also take on smaller-scale projects—from renovations as simple as moving a wall to designing cabins and tiny homes.

We’ve worked on secondary dwellings for orchards and farms across the Bay of Plenty, creating practical and beautifully designed spaces for staff and extended family. No matter the scale, we focus on smart, thoughtful solutions to bring your vision to life.

At Studio H, we give each project the attention it deserves, which means our availability can be limited. We recommend reaching out as early as possible to secure our services.

Our schedule depends on current projects, but by contacting us in advance, we can plan accordingly to accommodate your needs. Whether your project is urgent or in the early planning stages, we’ll work with you to find the right timeline.
