Architecture / Objects / Interiors

Places shaped by hand, light, and time.

Sun Workshop is a small, material-led studio making generous spaces for daily rituals, quiet gatherings, and the long life of a home.

Built slowly.
Made to last.

A good room gives something back.

We make room for the everyday.

From a single built-in shelf to a whole new address, we pay attention to the small decisions that make a place feel unmistakably yours.

  • Residential architecture
  • Interior landscapes
  • Custom furniture
  • Material direction

Made for living.

Places with a little more breath in them, designed across the coast and countryside of Aotearoa.

Start with what is under your feet.

Earth, cane, clay, and timber. The palette is simple; the possibilities are not.

Good work begins with a good question.

We listen first, draw second. Every project is a conversation between its people, its place, and the materials that belong there.

  1. 01
    Listen closely

    We learn how you move, gather, rest, and make a mess.

  2. 02
    Find the feeling

    We turn the brief into a clear atmosphere and material story.

  3. 03
    Make it real

    We stay with the details from first line through final handle.
