Architecture Strategy

Guiding Development,
Showing Potential Through Design

Get clear insights into potential of land, allowing you to make informed decisions and maximise value.

Eliminate guesswork and ‘back of a envelope’ calculations. Our process helps focus developments, determines where risks lies and enables you to act accordingly.

Informed roadmaps

  • We work across the full spectrum of mixed-use and residential projects—renovations and additions, new builds, multi-unit housing, and small infill or subdivision developments throughout Aotearoa.

  • We recognise the importance of context, privacy, amenity, urban design, and connection with the environment.

  • Listening to and understanding the needs of clients and residents is central to our process.

  • Providing design feasibility and bulk-and-location option testing, we weigh site, planning, environmental, and budget realities to describe what’s possible.

  • We utilise data driven software with up to date GIS and environmental modelling to inform early development decisions.

  • Sharpe Strategy uses a unique process to discover, develop, and define the design problem—providing actionable data and a practical roadmap for delivery.

  • Large Scale Development

    Partnering with regeneration entities, market and affordable housing developers, all of whom are shaping communities. We offer strategic guidance on medium and high density residential design outcomes from due diligence periods through to preliminary proposals, leveraging advanced technology for real-time yield, environmental, and planning analysis. Together, we craft robust development strategies that unlock site potential and pave the way for sustained success.

  • Architectural Advisory

    We help property owners by first understanding the changing needs of their family or residents. Together, we set clear goals and a vision for the future. We then outline design and development options and explain the pros and cons, so you can make confident decisions about what comes next. We can guide you through project start-up right through to the finish line.

“Madeline steered us in the right direction, helped us see the priorities and get the scope of work defined. We would not be building today without her. Her skills were invaluable and to us it's been worth its weight in gold. We're so happy with where we are heading now thanks to her management.”
