KebbellDaish is a four person architecture practice based in Wellington. It was founded in 2002 by Sam Kebbell and John Daish (now retired) and specialises in concept and design development with an emphasis on ideas that connect architecture and the arts. Completed projects include houses, workplaces, hospitality, and community projects with budgets from $50K to $5million. KebbellDaish has a strong connection to the Victoria University School of Architecture where Sam Kebbell currently teaches, and where John Daish was a founding academic. Research projects have included work on coastal development, creative workplaces, the future of provincial towns, and architecture in the New Zealand landscape. We have won numerous awards for our work. Articles about KebbellDaish projects have been published by professional and academic publishers. The practice has often featured in the New Zealand news media and has been included in exhibitions, conferences and symposiums in both in New Zealand and abroad.
