Kite&Kaufmehl Architecture is an Architecture & Interior Design practice based in Sydney and Jindabyne, NSW.

Founded by Kristian Kaufmehl and Caroline Kite, we create spaces for our clients that are joyful, beautiful and enduring.

Our work is grounded in the belief that well-made spaces should last, and that architecture is an investment for life. To us, architecture is a collaboration with our clients to create buildings that are specific to the site and our clients’ needs and aspirations.

We are a highly experienced and deliberately small team. We provide full Architecture and Interior Design services, from Concept through to Completion.

We work on residential houses, apartments and commercial projects. We have the experience to work across any project typology and welcome collaboration on larger projects.
