Breanna Urquhart was raised in Lake Hawea, New Zealand (Aotearoa). In 2009, she embarked on a career in Architecture and Interiors, starting with a Master of Architecture (Professional) from the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris and Victoria University of Wellington, graduating in 2015.

Over the past 11 years, Breanna has built a truly global portfolio, leading award-winning projects as an Associate for multidisciplinary studio Snarkitecture in New York City and, more recently, as Associate Director at Knight Associates in Auckland, New Zealand. Prior to these leadership roles, she worked with internationally renowned firms such as Yael Reisner Studio, Sir Peter Cook, FACE Design & Fabrication, and Warren & Mahoney Architects.

Through these diverse experiences, she has gained extensive expertise across luxury residential, retail, historic restoration, master planning, hospitality, and cultural projects, while building an invaluable network of consultants, builders, and makers with whom she continues to collaborate.In April 2024, she relocated to Los Angeles to expand her practice and now delivers projects on both coasts of the U.S. and in New Zealand. 

Her current portfolio includes a mixed use, multi-story development in Wellington, a ground-up home in New York, a shared office and event space in Brooklyn, an exhibition in India, and restoration of historic residences across Los Angeles. To every project, Breanna brings a holistic design methodology, focusing on the creation of honest, tactile, and enduring environments. Her ethos views architecture as a vessel for creating harmony and peace in daily life — something to be wielded in achieving impactful social and cultural outcomes.
