Senior Designer

Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland

Kyra is a senior designer with nearly 16 years of experience on projects in New Zealand and internationally. She has been involved with architectural projects ranging from urban renewal initiatives to renovations of listed buildings in central London and Auckland.

Kyra recently joined Studio Pacific from a studio specialising in high-end, bespoke architectural projects. During her time there, she focused on the completion of a multi-stage development that included the refurbishment of a seventies office tower into apartments, a six-storey new build with residential and commercial units, several luxury penthouses, and a landscaped courtyard. Over the course of the five-year development, Kyra worked closely with the client to realise a wide range of housing typologies, including warehouses, two-storey three-bed units, and generous, well-equipped studios.

Kyra has a particular interest in site observation and working closely with large construction teams. She is focused on maintaining clear lines of communication across multi-stage sites and achieving high-quality outcomes within commercial, market-driven environments.

In addition to her architectural work, Kyra has a particular interest in contemporary art. She has worked in Germany with leading international artists, managing the installation of major artworks in both Germany and America, and balancing the expectations of her artist clients, major institutions, and commercial galleries.
