Arcline Architecture

Alan and the Arcline team are a professional architect company that has been a pleasure to work with. With industry leading design, knowledge and communication they are an awesome team to work with and live up to their motto 'Excellence by Design'

I worked with Arcline Architecture as their interior designer for 12 large luxury holiday accommodation houses based in Karikari Peninsula for Carrington Estate. Having just recently graduated from Unitec, and with only a few interior design projects undertaken by me, the opportunity to work with Arcline on such a large project was daunting but exciting. Working with Alan Simpkin, owner and architect at Arcline, provided me with valuable hands-on experience and knowledge in so many aspects of interior design and project management, that is difficult to achieve on smaller projects. Alan was generous in sharing with me his in-depth knowledge of the building and design industry which was invaluable during the design process. He set up processes and systems that allowed for ease of communication between stakeholders, thus ensuring a robust communication flow that saw this large scale development project run as smoothly as possible and ensuring budgets and timeframes were met. Alan and his team at Arcline Architecture are professional, passionate about design and a pleasure to work with. As Architect and Project Manager, Alan provided excellent support and guidance - sharing ideas and his architectural intent on the 12 houses with ease, however still allowing the interior designer autonomy to design within the guidelines of the brief of each house type - 6 themes (and 12 houses) in total. Arcline's high level of knowledge, skill and design expertise, together with the ability to trust that other design professionals will act in the best interests of the client and project, was a huge contributing factor to the success of this large scale project.
