Archco Architecture is a Canterbury-based architectural practice founded by multi-award-winning designers Gareth Ritchie and James Davidson. Based in Rangiora, we work across New Zealand, delivering innovative, functional design solutions for a wide range of project types and budgets.
Our portfolio includes residential homes, commercial spaces, and industrial developments—each one carefully designed to respond to its unique site, context, and the vision of our clients. We believe great architecture begins with listening, and we work closely with each client to create spaces that are both practical and inspiring.
Whether it’s a compact rural retreat or a large-scale commercial build, we bring the same passion, precision, and commitment to quality to every project.
