We are Isthmus. Our kaupapa is to regenerate Aotearoa by connecting land, people and culture.
We are designers. Our approach integrates knowledge from architecture, graphic design, landscape architecture, and urban design.
Isthmus was founded as a group, with a strong emphasis on collaboration. Our studios are open systems—places where we can work alongside client and specialist consultants, to question, debate and innovate.
Our tikanga unify us. They ensure we continue to be a uniquely Aotearoa design practice.
