Fat Parrot Architecture was established in 1998 by John Borsboom and Pierre du Toit, driven by an ambitious vision and a name as distinctive as the approach to creating spaces that inspire, endure, and enrich the lives of those who use them. John, alongside Graeme Fanselow, went on to develop the North Shore, Auckland office, while Pierre established the Hawke’s Bay studio.

The Auckland team has been further strengthened by the addition of Paul Taylor, Judith Cunningham, and Jonathan Lapham, bringing a depth of experience that continues to shape and guide the practice’s growth.

With the trust and support of our valued clients and collaborators, Fat Parrot Architects has evolved into the leading-edge practice it is today. Our teams are united by a shared commitment to creativity, innovation, and thoughtful design, delivering architecture that not only responds to the present but stands resilient into the future.

We welcome new opportunities with enthusiasm and remain dedicated to building enduring partnerships. We look forward to bringing your aspirations into our story, crafting considered, future-focused design solutions that reflect your vision, create lasting value, and deliver ongoing satisfaction.
