Studio

Keegan Davis is an architecture studio working between Australia and New Zealand, taking on a deliberately limited workload of residential, commercial, and object commissions. The aim across the work is the same: a quiet, materially honest architecture that supports the way people actually use and inhabit a building.

Keegan trained in fine arts at Southern Cross University before completing his architecture degree at Victoria University of Wellington. He began practising with Knight Associates in 2020, working across high-profile residential projects, luxury retail fit-outs, and adaptive reuse commercial developments — including a series of projects for Les Mills.

He then joined a specialised team at ProDesigners Architects, working closely with Fletcher Living on multiple medium-density housing developments across Auckland, strengthening his documentation, coordination, and on-site skills.

The studio in its current form followed a flagship bakery fit-out for Daily Bread in Britomart's boutique retail precinct. Recent and ongoing work includes a tasting room and bar in Hamilton, a private residence in Bali, and a new-build residence in Northern NSW.

The work centres on natural materials, simple construction, and the patient pursuit of buildings that age well. Each project begins with the place — its light, its prevailing weather, its particular sense of ground — and proceeds outward from there.
