We are ARCHITECTS and CONSULTANTS who believe that GREAT HOUSING supports GREAT LIVING.

Shaping Conversation

Archio started as an idea in an ice cream van, an idea that talking to people makes design better.

That idea was honed in a garage decorated as a disco, where we talked with neighbours about things that really mattered to them. What we heard led to our belief that great housing supports great living.

Archio is now an architecture practice with over a decade of designing housing and neighbourhoods. We continue to love getting stuck into conversations.
