About

Mike Sowman Design Ltd was established in August 2000 to fulfill Mike’s ambition to work closer and more directly with his clients to help them achieve their project goals.


The business has continually grown since its inception through repeat business and client referrals and from its hands-on approach and the willingness to listen to our clients' needs and deliver an end product that all parties involved are proud to have been associated with. We have worked closely with and formed a strong working relationship with a team of engineers, consultants and interior designers to assist in providing a complete design package.

Mike Sowman Design Ltd has a staff of one director, full-time draughting/design staff, an office/project manager with a collective experience of over 80 years in the architectural and construction fields and has undertaken a variety work throughout New Zealand.

Mike Sowman Design Ltd prides itself on our comprehensive and accurate documentation of our projects, which assists all parts of the building process from the client through the local councils and on to the builder to fully understand the extent and nature of the project.
