PEOPLE

Forrest Chen

Director | Registered Architect

As the founder of Forrest Architects, I look back on this journey with immense pride and gratitude. Since establishing the practice in 2017 in Takapuna, Auckland, my vision has remained clear: to design architecture that is not only functional, but profoundly personal.

Each project is an opportunity to create spaces that reflect the unique stories, aspirations, and lifestyles of our clients, while embracing the natural context that surrounds them. For me, architecture is not just about buildings, but about crafting experiences that feel grounded, intentional, and enduring.
