THE FAT PARROT STORY

Fat Parrot Architecture was founded in 1999 by John Borsboom and Pierre du Toit in a small central Auckland office with a big vision — to design spaces that inspire and endure. As our reputation grew, the Auckland office moved to Albany on the North Shore under the directorship of John and Graeme Fanselow, while Pierre established our Hawke’s Bay office. Paul Taylor and Judith Cunningham later joined the Auckland leadership team, helping drive our continued growth.

Through hard work, determination, and the support of our amazing clients and collaborators, Fat Parrot Architecture has flourished. Today, we’re proud to have a talented team in Auckland and a dedicated Hawke’s Bay office — united by a passion for creating innovative and practical spaces.

We’re always excited by new opportunities — if you have a project in mind, we’d love to hear from you
