Felix Associates is a full-service architecture studio led by registered architects Julianne Chou and Jeff Marsch. We are based in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand working on projects throughout Aotearoa and our home state of California, USA.
Building on both our practical
experience (architecture + construction) and impractical experience (art + philosophy), we set up Felix Associates to
help people solve spatial problems within their means and create beautiful places that, we hope, give them little moments of joy every day.
At the moment our work is largely focused on family housing in the form of small-scale renovations, additions, and infill buildings in urban and densifying suburban areas. Maybe when we grow up we’ll do something bigger, but that’s us for now.
