Anthony Hoete is an entrepreneurial architect, developer, teacher and researcher, who has spent the last 30 years in Europe, mostly in the UK.

In 2002 he set up WHAT_architecture, and then later his own development company, called Game of Architecture, developing a reputation as an award-winning and unconventional architect, with a passion for affordable housing.

But after half his lifetime living in London, his tūrangawaewae has called him home.

He returned to Aotearoa to take up the role of Professor of Architecture (Māori) at the University of Auckland, bringing with him his skills and vision.

Now he's turning his attention to Māori and indigenous architectural projects and finding practical, affordable and sustainable housing solutions.
