About

Metropolitan Design is Jonnel Mamauag, a licensed architectural designer based in Auckland, with creative and technical expertise on residential design for single-family homes to significant multi-unit developments.

I started modestly in 2014 producing work from concepts and small one-room renovations. In 2019, I gained my Design Licensed Building Practitioner, demonstrating my technical knowledge in the construction and the legislative side of Architecture. I moved on to designing remote island baches to significant multi-unit residential developments in our backyard of Auckland, New Zealand. We now offer our services across New Zealand and internationally, for brave and visionary Clients.
