ABOUT …
Enduring design, rooted in Aotearoa.
Founded in Rotorua in 2011, Bishop Architecture is a design-led architectural practice delivering thoughtful, culturally aware, and contextually responsive solutions across Aotearoa. With over 14 years in business, we continue to grow a reputation built not on spectacle — but on substance, trust, and delivery.
From family homes to complex community developments, our work is grounded in the landscape, respectful of heritage, and focused on people. We believe architecture is not just about buildings — it’s about belonging, purpose, and future legacy.
As we move into a new era, we are embracing a bolder, more expressive design language while continuing to serve the communities and clients who have shaped our journey so far.
Precision in Practice
Behind every great idea is great documentation.
draftR, our technical drafting division, powers the delivery of our work and supports builders, developers, and design professionals across the country.
With a skilled team and over a decade of experience, draftR provides architectural documentation services that are fast, accurate, and council-ready — ensuring design intent is delivered without compromise.
