What Eclipse Architecture does

Eclipse Architecture is a privately held, medium-sized architectural practice headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, with an additional operational footprint across the South Pacific. The firm employs approximately 21 design and administrative professionals organised across directors, principals, associates, registered architects, senior technicians, architectural graduates, and office administration. It is led by three directors — founding director Maurice Langdon, Peter Keys, and Raymond Chung (appointed 2022) — whose combined experience spans prior directorships at Architects New Zealand and Kay and Keys Architects, plus senior involvement in the £480M London City Airport expansion.

The practice delivers full-service architectural design covering project analysis and brief development, master planning, design and documentation, interior design, contract administration, and project management. Its differentiated capability lies in sustainable design: Eclipse is a founding member of the New Zealand Green Building Council, employs in-house Green Star Qualified Professionals, is Toitū carbon zero certified, and has delivered multiple NZGBC 5 Green Star-rated buildings. The technology stack is conventional for an architectural firm (Rocketspark-hosted website, Instagram presence) and the firm's competitive differentiation rests on talent expertise, sustainability credentials, and a 30+ award-winning project portfolio rather than proprietary software.

Eclipse earns revenue through professional service fees on custom-quoted, multi-year project commissions. Its sales-led go-to-market is built on direct client engagement, long-term collaborative relationships, and referral-based institutional pipeline development. The customer base spans aviation (Auckland Airport, Air New Zealand), logistics (DHL, Fonterra, Toll, Hellmann, Geodis Wilson), retail (Bunnings, Foodstuffs North Island, Mānawa Bay Premium Outlet Mall), healthcare (EBOS Group / Healthcare Limited, Craigwell Resthome), education (Auckland Catholic Schools Office across 20+ primary and 7 secondary schools, plus Ministry of Education projects), public/community (churches, rest homes, community centres), and government/aviation security. Distribution is regional and direct, with services delivered to enterprise and institutional clients without channel intermediaries.
