A proven partnership delivering lasting quality

The team behind 22 Karori is built on long-standing relationships and a shared commitment to excellence. This isn’t a one-off collaboration—it’s a tight-knit group that has delivered over a dozen high-end projects together, including Outlook Mission Bay, One Wairua, and the award-winning Elm Remuera and One Saint Stephens in Parnell.

When the same developer, builder, architect, and interior designer choose to work together again and again, it shows. There’s trust, shared standards, and a clear understanding of what it takes to create enduring, beautiful homes.
