Dr Sarosh Mulla leads Pac Studio, a collaborative and research-based architectural practice located in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Known for both bold and subtle colour choices, Sarosh’s projects put colour at the heart of the design, whether it be a large-scale machine to make rainbows or a blushing pink new home by the seaside.

Founding Studio Prineas in 2004, Eva-Marie Prineas’ passion for heritage conservation and sustainable design forms the basis of the studio’s award-winning approach to design, and its philosophy for understanding and adapting places that are already special.

Knowing that the best design occurs when ideas are challenged and shaped collaboratively, Nick Travers co-founded Technē Architecture + Interior Design in 2001 to create bespoke spaces that enrich the human experience. Specialising in residential, commercial, hospitality and retail design, Nick is acutely aware of the ‘emotional’ reaction a project provides when spaces can be experienced well beyond the ‘bricks and mortar’ and is stimulated by a thorough discourse around the philosophical and practical elements of his discipline.
