My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Daniel as our Architectural Designer, and I could not be happier with the experience. From the beginning, Daniel made the process of designing our plans simple, stress-free and well thought out. He took the time to listen carefully to our ideas, offered thoughtful guidance, and turned my vision into practical, well-designed plans, and we are truly grateful. What stood out most was Daniel's professionalism and clear communication. He explained each stage of the process in a way that was easy to understand, kept me updated all throughout, and was always approachable whenever I had questions, whether that was via email or through a video call. His attention to detail and knowledge of Council requirements — plus being a former builder — meant our project moved smoothly from concept through to full consent. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an Architectural Designer who combines creativity with reliability, and who genuinely cares about delivering the best result for their clients.

We recently used Dan from Stoak Architecture for our residential development project in Rotorua. From the very start Dan was very easy to deal with and brought great experience and input to the project. He went above and beyond to complete our project documentation on time and with great quality and at a very reasonable price. We would not hesitate to recommend Stoak Architecture to anyone who is after a very capable and knowledgeable architectural designer. We hope we have the opportunity to work with Dan again in the future.

From the first meeting, Stoak Architecture was the right choice for us. They took the time to ask us about how we live, what we valued, and how we wanted our space to feel. That meant everything to us. Throughout the process, they were incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and creative, but also took into account our culture and environment. They turned our vague ideas into something beautiful and functional — a space that feels like us. I'm grateful for the care and attention they poured into every detail. It was more than architecture — it felt like a collaboration built on trust.

Daniel has been fantastic right from the beginning. Although Daniel wasn't able to visit our property, he designed exactly what we wanted, taking into consideration the surrounding area. Everything was done on time, questions were always answered quickly, and I always felt I could ask him anything. Even my builder commented that he was very easy and straightforward to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Dan again. Thanks so much for making the process so easy.
