About
Studio Martin Berweger is an architectural design practice based in Leigh, working with clients throughout New Zealand and Switzerland. We are driven by a deep respect for the landscape and the communities within it. Operating at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and construction, our interdisciplinary approach ensures we always strive for the best possible outcome for both the client and the unique conditions of the site.
We believe in breaking design down to its essence. By stripping away the superfluous, we focus on the rigorous selection of the right materials and honest, enduring construction methods.
For us, true sustainability means evaluating every project through a holistic lens, carefully considering its social contribution and environmental footprint, to create spaces that are as responsible as they are refined.
Curriculum
Martin Berweger is an architectural designer bringing nearly thirty years of comprehensive experience across concept design, documentation, and both project and construction management.
Trained in Switzerland, Martin’s foundation in the built environment is deeply rooted in practical craftsmanship. Before graduating with a BA in Architecture from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in 2011, he completed a rigorous draughtsman apprenticeship and worked directly on the tools alongside highly specialised manufacturers and contractors. This early hands-on experience fundamentally shapes his technical expertise and meticulous approach to detailing today.
During his time in Switzerland, Martin worked with prominent St. Gallen practices, including Peter Lüchinger Architektur and Forrer Stieger Architects, delivering residential, civic, and commercial projects of varying scales.
Since relocating to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2017, Martin has continued to expand his architectural footprint. His New Zealand portfolio includes working with the acclaimed Cheshire Architects, developing projects for a modular housing company, and operating as a sole trader for a diverse mix of Swiss and local clients.
In 2026, he launched his own independent studio, Studio Martin Berweger, and achieved his Licensed Building Practitioner certification, offering clients a unique blend of Swiss precision and New Zealand design sensibilities.
