Object Office is an architecture and design studio based in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. As their first built projects came up, they needed a brand identity that drew like-minded people to their practice.

Their work is founded on time-tested design principles. Rather than relying on unnecessary extras, they carefully refine a project’s form, space, and materials to create the best result. This is reflected through a utilitarian approach to their branding – using simplified layouts, a single characterful typeface, and a single strong colour.

A central challenge was deciding what imagery to use across their website and Instagram while their built projects were still in progress. As a solution, their stylised diagrams of work are featured prominently. As their library of finished photography grows, the site is designed to showcase it seamlessly.

“We enjoyed working with another creative who understood our industry and point of view, but came at it with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. Our approach was always there, but Emily brought it to the surface, made it clear, and then built a brand around it that truly reflects us. The impact can be seen and felt across the whole business.” – Louise Booth, Director.
