Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Kapukataumahakate te maunga
Ko Waikouaiti te awa
No Ōtepoti ahau
Ko Mutch taku whānau
Ko Stefan tōku ingoa
Nau mai, haere mai
Stefan is the father of four awesome tamariki and a Dunedin born Landscape Architect with over 25 years of experience. His passion is creating harmonious places that encourage meaningful connections to our natural world. This is achieved by only using locally sourced natural materials, reducing our carbon footprint, and making designs that truly matter. Stefan is focused on getting the most from each material and preventing unnecessary development, believing that “the best garden is often the one you already have”. He committed to this vision by developing the Trēwhare range of outdoor spaces and applies this methodology to his bespoke in-situ projects also.
Stefan’s philosophy is to respect natural processes, recognizing we are part of a bigger picture. To understand where we come from and to care about what we do while we are here. His values of manaakitanga and gratitude lead to designing respectful places that truly benefit people and mother earth. His designs aspire to come from nature, for us to be with nature, and to one day return there.
