About

Drift Design Studio

Drift Design Studio is an established residential architectural design studio based in the beautiful town of Cambridge, New Zealand, providing a design service to the Waikato and surrounding areas.

In my spare time, I'm a keen surfer and love being on the water.
To "Drift" is to be slowly carried by a current, and it's in those quiet moments of contemplation that creative ideas and design inspiration comes to me.
Being involved in the design of somebody's home is a real privilege and I love to bring those creative ideas to my Clients and work collaboratively with them in a relaxed way to realise the best vision of their new home.

Richard Bisson - Designer & Director
Based in the beautiful town of Cambridge, I proudly originally hail from the Channel Island of Jersey in the UK. 
I have 20 years architectural experience based in the stunning Waikato area, and am a qualified Licensed Building Practitioner (Design).
I see being involved in the design of somebody's home a real privilege and put in every effort to help make the process as relaxed, productive and enjoyable as possible. I've had the pleasure of being involved in the design of many homes, of all different shapes, sizes and styles, both in town and rural settings, for individual clients, Group Home Builders and smaller building companies.
I live in Cambridge with my partner Kathryn and our two boys.
When I'm not in the studio or with the family, I enjoy paddleboarding on the gorgeous Lake Karapiro, surfing, trying not to kill my bonsai and being a part of a fantastic group of people at the Cambridge Badminton Club.
