Bell Stephenson Architects is a registered NZIA architecture practice at 39 School Road in Lower Moutere, Tasman, and it works across Nelson, Tasman and Golden Bay. The practice designs homes, renovations, commercial spaces and education buildings, and it specialises in sustainable architecture and permaculture-informed homes. Clients work directly with one of the two principal architects, from first ideas through to refined design. The practice also offers permaculture design: site analysis that maps microclimates, water flow and soil, concept layouts that show zones and planting, and detailed landscaping and drainage drawings for contractors.
Customers describe clear communication and good guidance on a new home build, and say a concept plan arrived after one meeting with no changes needed. One client says the architects kept the project within budget. Another, for an early childhood centre in Motueka, says the drawings were accepted for consents without delay, the website says.
