DKO Architecture threw a first anniversary celebration on the evening of Thursday August 6th to celebrate the opening of their new Auckland office in High Street. Sixty guests enjoyed a dedicated whisky bar, Negroni’s and catering by Little Wolf. 

Both DKO Architecture Directors Koos de Keijzer and Craig Gordon spoke at the event, as well as long time friend of DKO Peter Cowey, thanking guests for allowing the DKO brand to cross waters and expand into New Zealand.

de Keijzer said on the evening, “DKO seek to provide eminently livable housing and places where people will want to be, buildings that are respectful of the environmental and cultural overlays and will enrich the greater community. My mantra in design is that I would never design a house that I would not live in myself.”

DKO Architecture are currently working on major projects throughout New Zealand including Three Kings in Auckland and East Frame in Christchurch.
