"We specialise in making our neighbours jealous" says Ron Seeto of Murray Cockburn Partnership which operates offices in Auckland, Suva and Pacific Harbour, Fiji. The office strikes a balance between straightforward and experimental work, between large scale and small commissions. 

"We are all different, so why should our houses be the same?" says Seeto. "Together, with clients we look for the essence of the individual and their site so homemaking becomes an inspiring adventure of discovery. We do this by thoroughly researching each client's needs, wants, culture and style, from which we create a unique solution. This is carefully detailed and cost-controlled resulting in a personal statement of timeless elegance they can enjoy forever".
