What Our Clients Say
“After the Christchurch earthquakes, we purchased a steep site on Scarborough Hill in Sumner, drawn by its stunning views over Sumner and the ocean. As empty nesters, we wanted to create a simple designed three-bedroom home that would make the most of this beautiful location.
Borrmeister Architects came highly recommended to us by friends, and working with Wulf and his team couldn’t have been better. They were professional, approachable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Most importantly, they genuinely listened to our ideas, translating them into a design that perfectly suited both the site and our lifestyle.
From initial concept and planning through to the completion of the build, the experience was seamless and enjoyable. Their creativity and attention to detail—both inside and out—resulted in a home that we absolutely love.
We highly recommend Borrmeister Architects to anyone looking for a dedicated, and collaborative architectural team.”
— Heiner and Ulli (Red Rock House)
“We were delighted to have Wulf and his team guide us through the design of our major home renovation. We bought our house in Mt Pleasant a few years after the Christchurch earthquakes. It had great bones, but was still unrepaired and quite dated, having been built in the 1960s. The design that Wulf and his team came up with was ideal – it made the most of what already worked, and cleverly transformed what didn't. Having Wulf's team oversee the build gave us enormous peace of mind. Their professionalism, attention to detail and clear communication took the stress out of the build process completely.
We are thrilled with the end result, and cannot recommend Borrmeister Architects highly enough.”
— Tim and Belinda (Mount Pleasant House Additions)
“I engaged Wulf Borrmeister to design and build a family house on a section in Redcliffs. He transformed my vision into a functional, beautiful space. Attention to detail was second to none. Wulf has also transformed our holiday home at Kaiteriteri.
It is my pleasure to recommend Wulf as an architect. I would choose to work with him again and again.”
— Diane (Pavilion House)
“We were never sure if our ideas and sometimes changes were not quite what you would have liked or agreed with BUT… there is hardly a day goes by when we both dont pinch ourselves with how well the design works for us.. and our love of it. We think the fact we had from 2012 to the final build 2015/16 meant you/we continued to make very considered subtle changes… such as the southern long skylight that was the roof change because of boundary height issue and also the long side window nearby that was originally going to be bricked up.
So many features that enhanced the build from ordinary. We were so lucky to get you and also enjoyed the experience of working with you and the builders.
There was a silver lining to the earthquakes.”
— Peter and Miriam (Santa Maria Avenue House)
"We have been very pleased to have Wulf Borrmeister and his team design our family home.
As a builder building our own home I appreciated Wulf's straight forward and practical approach to the construction. With his deep understanding of construction and the use of the sun, and a flare for timless design, along with a very approachable team, we are delighted with our home."
— Kevin (Stack House)
