Mason & Wales Architects

Mason & Wales Architects is an award-winning Registered New Zealand Institute of Architects practice based in the South Island of New Zealand. 

Mason & Wales is the oldest Architectural practice in the country, founded in 1863 by William Mason, the first Architect to live and work in New Zealand and the first Mayor of Dunedin.

During its history the firm has been responsible for the design of a large number of notable buildings throughout New Zealand, and has established valued relationships with clients, consultants and contractors alike.

We work with clients from all over the world on a range of projects of all sizes and types, including Master Planning, Institutional, Hospitality, Commercial, Multi-Residential, Houses and Interiors.

Our team works collectively from our Dunedin office, and from Queenstown and Wanaka, with a commitment to making a positive contribution to the built environment.  Mason & Wales designs and delivers architecture which strives to be enduring and sustainable to enrich the lives of our clients and the community.

We have built our reputation on the enduring principles of quality, value and professionalism, which is evident in our portfolio of completed work.
