About - Hoxha Bailey Architects

Welcome to Hoxha Bailey Architects

The Practice

Level 1, 320 Ponsonby Road Auckland New Zealand

The design philosophy of Hoxha Bailey Architects is founded on values of regional modernism. Our projects are strongly driven by a contextual response to topography, climate, views, and the concept of prospect and refuge. Underpinning every project is our commitment to a rigorously resolved and efficient floor plan, and a considerate use of space and materials.

The Partners

After a longstanding professional association, Jason Bailey and Pashtrik Hoxha formally teamed up as directors in late 2018. Hoxha Bailey Architects was launched at the beginning of 2020.

Jason Bailey

B.A, B.Arch. (hons), A.N.Z.I.A.

Jason Bailey studied Arts and Architecture at the University of Auckland. Graduation in 1995 was followed by travelling in Europe, after which he returned to his home city and spent the next five years honing his craft with Anderson Grant Architects and Kay and Keys Architects. He embarked on the journey of a self-employed residential architect in 2000.

The subsequent two decades of house design by Jason and his team has resulted in an extensive built portfolio of work. These projects are primarily to be found in the weatherboard -clad central suburbs of Auckland, but many have also been undertaken in coastal Northland, coastal Waitakere, Waiheke Island, east -coast Coromandel, and Queenstown.

Jason now works primarily from his satellite base on the Sunshine Coast.

Pashtrik Hoxha

B.Arch. RIBA.

Pashtrik Hoxha completed his Architecture Degree at the University of Auckland in 2005.

His first job as an architectural graduate was working for Jason Bailey, at the time when Jason had just moved into his award- winning Grafton work studio and apartment. Those early years with Jason, and subsequently with Jones Architects, forged a solid base of experience with residential architecture.

In 2011, Pashtrik moved to London to pursue his passion for travelling. During his 6-year spell in London he worked for two practices specializing in classical architecture, Liam O’Connor Architects and Smallwood Architects. Project highlights included working on the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, and the Serpentine Gallery led by Zaha Hadid.

Pashtrik returned to Auckland in early 2017 and immediately became re-established with Jason’s team.

The Studio

Our spacious open plan workspace is upstairs in the Govorko Building (1939), at the Three Lamps precinct in the dynamic suburb of Ponsonby. The diverse skills of the Hoxha Bailey team ensures that every project will benefit from ongoing collaboration: teamwork from within the studio, expert professional input from our external specialist consultants and construction professionals, and of course the ongoing involvement of our clients. We value the resulting depth and variety in our portfolio.
