Cheshire Architects is a practice that does special projects. Nat and his father Pip Cheshire run their studio of two dozen designers in Auckland city, operating across an enormous breadth of types and scales.

Nat leaps daily from graphic design to light fittings to basement cocktail dens to luxury retreats to whole chunks of the inner city. Amongst this work, Nat has spent the last couple of years building and fitting-out much of the new Britomart. He attacks everything with equal energy and aggression, seeking the extraordinary rather than the perfect, and pursuing a new vision for both architecture and his city.
