Andrew Whitney

Andrew Whitney always puts his clients and staff at the forefront of his work. With nearly 30 years of designing under his belt no problem is too great. He enjoys seeing a project develop from the ground up.   It is important for Andrew that a client feels their needs and wants are met within the design brief because “at the end of the day they’re the ones who have to live in it”.  Andrew describes himself as the educator at Createus Group.  “The only way our staff can be the best is to ensure they have the skills, knowledge and technology to adapt to the changes regularly occurring in our industry.”

National Diploma in Architectural Technology
Zach Gabrielle

I have moved to Hawke's Bay from Wairarapa, where I've been working for the past 8+ years for a frame & truss factory in various different roles of design that have given me a great understanding of how trussed roofs are designed. I have a real passion for architectural design in both form and function and enjoy being able to help clients into a home that they will enjoy for years to come.

Having completed my March Prof at Victoria University of Wellington I have moved back home and found a great place to establish my architectural career with Createus Group.

I have a passion for community-led projects and sustainability within the build environment.
