Johnstone Callaghan Architects is an award-winning studio based in Ōtautahi Christchurch and working across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The design led studio, formed in 2019 by Prue Johnstone and Mike Callaghan, has since expanded to a small team of architects and designers who specialise in, and are passionate about creating residential and commercial spaces with functionality and detail in mind.

Every project is an opportunity to design simple, considered spaces to be enjoyed, celebrated, and lived in for generations beyond our own. Our aim is to deliver responsive architecture to great clients and have fun doing it.

Our studio is located in the CoCA Building in central Christchurch.
