Hone; to edit, refine, and improve. 

Hone is a Landscape Architecture Studio & Workshop.


Our focus is taking a light touch & crafted approach while balancing exceptional design thinking & space creation.

Our medium is the landscape, working with intent to shape and craft meaningful outcomes in the public and private realm.  

We are design thinkers who hold strong landscape values—we understand open spaces, the urban realm and many typologies of landscape architecture.

We seek to improve public and private spaces, taking a considered approach while ensuring the land we work with thrives.   

We love to build things, and have honed our collective skillsets through many years of practice.

We work honestly with the landscape to give back spaces that are carefully crafted for people and nature. 

From Whangārei to Waihōpai, we work up and down the motu, connecting with communities around Aotearoa. We take pride in acting local to be able to understand a place with depth and richness in order to contribute a built outcome in a more meaningful way.

Bringing years of design first expertise, technical experience and value creation around the table is Hone’s strength—helping to craft the whole picture from conception to construction.
