AUCKLAND-BASED RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTS

Homes designed to be enriching, & enduring

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

At Saaba Architects, we create homes that are considered in detail & refined in character

Our residential work ranges from new builds to considered renovations. Each project balances aesthetics, thoughtful spatial planning, and material richness - creating spaces that support daily life and become the backdrop for lasting memories.

Every new home begins with understanding - your site, lifestyle, & aspirations

We integrate architecture and interiors from the outset, ensuring every detail is cohesive, layered, and personal.

From heritage villa restorations to modern extensions, we bring new life to existing homes

Our approach respects the character and context of what’s already there, while introducing new design elements that enhance liveability, flow, and comfort.

A clear, collaborative process.

From first sketches to final completion, our process is designed to give you confidence at every stage. We listen first, test ideas carefully, and stay hands-on through design, documentation, and the build - ensuring your home is delivered with clarity, care, and creativity.

Our Approach

“Her design offered a fresh, modern reinterpretation that still felt true to the original character of the house.”

Kate brought ideas to the project that we hadn’t even considered, and they completely changed the way we saw our home. The design for the design feels brighter, functional, and beautiful. We can’t wait to live in it once completed.
