  • #1 - Richard Archbold - The Hidden Art of Creativity
    Jul 11 2025

    Arch (aka Richard Archbold) isn't just designing buildings—he's shaping the way we experience space. With extensive experience in the industry, and a principal at JWA Architects, Arch has played a key role in some of New Zealand's high-profile commercial projects. Practicing meticulous, context- driven approach to design, Arch has also been a teacher, story-teller, musician and mentor. Self-described to be at the "end of the beginning" of his career, Arch is considered and rigorous, in both, his practice and communication. I thoroughly enjoyed this most interesting conversation, and I hope you will too.
