Design Thinking That Move Projects Forward.
I help developers and architects bring clarity to the front end of a project — shaping strong ideas early and communicating them with precision.

I bring clarity to the moment where vision, opportunity, and uncertainty intersect.

My work transforms early ideas into strategic design direction that drives momentum.

Visuals aren’t an add-on — they’re built into the way I design.

Who I am
I'm Chris Froneman — a New Zealand Registered Architect passionate about shaping strong ideas at the start of a project when direction matters most.
I’ve spent over 20 years working across Africa, the Middle East, and New Zealand, collaborating with developers, architects, and multidisciplinary teams on residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. What drives me is the challenge of making early design work clear, strategic, and expressive—turning that first spark of potential into something clients, teams, and councils can align with.
I care about clarity, momentum, and protecting a concept's integrity as it moves through the process. I also believe in communicating ideas well—not just in words but through sketches, narrative, and visual language that makes the design feel inevitable.
I work between New Zealand and South Africa, bringing regional insight and a round-the-clock creative rhythm to my collaborations.
