Ethos.

Artifact is a property company committed to making great homes. By focusing on creating timeless, enduring properties we aim to differentiate ourselves from homogenous, bottom-line driven development. 

We believe you want something more, something better. Every Artifact property is distinctive and responds in a considered way to the unique context of the site, the neighbourhood and the community.

Artifact was founded by Sophie Wylie and Liam Joyce with a vision that great design was too often missing from developments. Passionate about positively contributing to Auckland’s built environment as it grows and changes, they have combined Sophie’s background as an architectural designer and Liam’s expertise as a development manager to design and develop properties that are unique, comfortable and with real attention to detail. Artifact is a family business with a long term focus.

With over 15 years experience as a designer for some of the country’s top architecture practices including Cheshire Architects and RTA Studio, Sophie has expertise in residential, mixed-use and commercial fit out. Particularly concerned with the interplay between light and form, Sophie works hard to create simple and comfortable interior spaces that allow residents to stamp their personal touch.
