Fat Parrot Architecture was founded in 1998 by John Borsboom and Pierre du Toit in a small Auckland office with a big vision and a distinctive name, to design spaces that inspire and endure. As our reputation grew, the Auckland office moved to the North Shore under the directorship of John and Graeme Fanselow, while Pierre established our Hawke’s Bay office. Paul Taylor and Judith Cunningham then joined the Auckland team, further strengthening our capacity and guiding our continued growth.

With the trust and support of our amazing clients and collaborators, Fat Parrot Architects have flourished. Today, we are proud to have talented teams at both offices, united by a passion for creating innovative and practical architecture that stands the test of time.

We are excited by new opportunities and remain committed to building lasting partnerships, so would be privileged to weave your project aspirations into our ongoing story, delivering thoughtful future-focused design solutions to you that reflect your vision, create enduring value, and provide lasting satisfaction.
