Ibex Design is a deliberately small, deliberately broad team. Designers, planners, engineers — all working alongside each other so your project moves through every stage without the gaps that usually open up between disciplines. One conversation, one set of files, one team accountable from first sketch to final consent.
The people you'll talk to and work with directly. Between them they cover every project type Ibex takes on — residential, commercial, education, and everything in between.
Founded Ibex Design to build a different kind of architectural practice — one that stays with you from the first sketch through to the final inspection. After 311+ completed projects across 14 districts, Simon leads every client through the experience personally. Te Aroha based, North Island wide.
Leads our high-end residential and renovation projects. Detailed and considered, Tasha protects the small things that make a house feel like it was always meant to be there — the joinery, the light, the way one room opens into the next.
Leads our Ministry of Education and commercial work — schools, learning environments, fit-outs, and the buildings that have to perform at scale. Brings the rigour of compliance and operational design to every brief, without losing the warmth that defines an Ibex space.
Runs Ibex's brand, lead pipeline, and client communications. Behind the weekly tracker updates, the briefing process, and every piece of communication that lands in your inbox — Ayson keeps the firm visible, responsive, and easy to work with.
Civil engineering, town planning, structural and fire engineering — the disciplines a typical architectural designer hands off to outside consultants are part of our project team. You don't manage them. We do. One brief, one schedule, one set of plans that all the moving parts have already agreed to.
The technical disciplines that turn a design into a buildable, consentable, code-compliant project. Embedded in the Ibex team — not subcontracted out at the last minute.
Handles the civil side of every site — stormwater management, wastewater design, drainage strategy. The technical groundwork that makes a beautiful concept actually consentable and buildable.
Reads council district plans like a second language. Identifies the rules that apply to your site early, so we design within them — rather than discover them in a consent refusal six weeks down the track.
Structural design and fire engineering. Makes sure the buildings that leave our office stand up, perform safely, and meet every code — without overdesigning your budget away.
