At Carolin Friese Architecture, we design spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also deeply rooted in sustainability and performance. With a strong focus on Passive House principles, our work is driven by a belief that architecture should support the wellbeing of people and the planet.

Led by German-trained designer Carolin Friese, our studio brings European precision and a deep understanding of high-performance building to Aotearoa. Carolin combines architectural elegance with technical rigour, specialising in energy-efficient design, healthy interiors, and resilient materials.

We collaborate closely with clients, consultants, and builders to deliver finely crafted homes and buildings that meet the highest standards of comfort, durability, and low energy use. Whether it’s a new build or a deep retrofit, we approach every project with care, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.

Let’s shape the future of sustainable living in New Zealand — one Passive House at a time.
