EA Architects Studio

EA Architects Studio is a design-led architecture practice founded by Hamilton-born Sally Holdgate in 2020, following 15 years of experience with award-winning firms in New Zealand and abroad. With a belief in architecture’s ability to quietly transform lives and strengthen communities, we are dedicated to creating spaces that foster connection, resilience, and belonging. Specialising in bespoke community, residential, and commercial projects, our work is grounded in thoughtful design, authenticity, and a deep respect for the people and places we serve. We believe that valuable architecture is not only functional and enduring, but a catalyst for wellbeing — shaping spaces where individuals thrive and communities flourish. At EA Architects Studio, we are committed to continual growth, collaboration, and maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. As proud members of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, ArchiPro, and the Waikato Chamber of Commerce, we bring reliability, creativity, and care to every project. Above all, we believe in the quiet power of good design to create places of meaning — spaces that gently enrich everyday life.
