About 242am Architects
To us, Architecture is the crossroads between Culture, Environment and Technology. People are the focus of our design cause it is for them the spaces are designed.
242am is a vibrant practice in the Manawatu and in the short time since our setup we have been involved on a wide range of projects from emergency services to community based developments. But it is housing where our passion lies, be it multi-unit dwellings, dense housing, prefabricated homes or standalone bespoke homes. It is this drive that has led us to study current issues surrounding the topic and hence find ourselves committed to making a difference, through design, in this sector.
