At the heart of NOTEL’s identity is the signature design language of Cheshire Architects—one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed studios. Founded by Nat and Pip Cheshire, the firm is known for spaces that feel timeless, tactile, and deeply rooted in place. Their work combines contemporary minimalism with honest materials and emotional clarity, resulting in buildings that are as refined as they are grounded. From The Hotel Britomart to custom modular cabins, Cheshire’s involvement ensures every NOTEL is as thoughtful as it is beautiful.
