About Me & My Business
Architectural Design - By New Zealand Registered Architect
I’m Sara Nazem, an NZ-Registered Architect, Director and Founder of Studio Ren, with over 10 years of professional experience delivering high-quality new builds and renovations across New Zealand. My portfolio includes residential homes, commercial buildings, community facilities, and large-scale public projects.
I specialise in house renovations, extensions, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, recladding, internal reconfigurations, as well as designing and delivering complete new-build homes and commercial buildings from the ground up.
What I Offer
I provide a seamless design-and-build service, offering a single point of contact from concept to completion. I handle the architecture, council requirements, documentation, material selections, and coordinate trusted builders to deliver the construction—so you don’t have to deal with multiple consultants.
Why Choose Me
Registered Architect – regulated, qualified, and held to NZIA professional standards
End-to-end service – design + build coordination for a smooth process
Experience in both renovations and new builds – residential, commercial, and community projects
Technical expertise – strong understanding of NZ Building Code, compliance, and construction sequencing
Transparent pricing & communication – no surprises, just clear and honest progress
Design that works for real life – practical, beautiful, durable solutions tailored to the users
My Approach
I believe every project—big or small—deserves thoughtful design, careful detailing, and a clear strategy. My goal is to create spaces that feel good to live and work in, while managing the process so clients feel supported and stress-free.
Whether you’re planning a renovation or a brand-new home or commercial building, I’d love to help bring your vision to life with expertise and care.
