BACKGROUND   We formed Mitchell and Stout Architects in 1990, with a strong commitment to both the art and the science of architecture. Since then we have designed a wide range of projects from schools to art galleries, from State housing to some of the most special and grand contemporary houses in New Zealand.

Every client and site is unique. Good architecture grows out of the opportunities found in an imaginative response to the particular combinations of client and context. Rather than specialising in a building type or style, we respond to clients of widely varied tastes and needs and have established a reputation as designers of distinguished buildings.

We maintain close personal control over every project, with a staff ranging from 1-5. With larger projects requiring greater support staff, we have often worked with other architectural offices, while maintaining design control.

Our work has won many awards, and been widely published in New Zealand architectural books and magazines, and in several international professional journals.
