Get creative. Get educated. Get good.

The Ockham Collective is a registered charitable trust in Auckland, New Zealand. Its kaupapa is to support lifelong creativity and education. Our support is direct: we offer beautiful, purpose-built spaces to like-minded individuals and groups who want to share their knowledge and ideas with our city.

What’s On

One of the most exciting things about supporting creatives and educators is that they’re always hustling! A great way we can support our Residents is spread the word about what they’re up to. Check out the events happening in our precincts or featuring our residents. »

Our Story

Benjamin Preston and Mark Todd formed the Ockham Foundation in 2009 at the same time they founded Ockham Residential and started developing apartments in Auckland. They’ve been friends since university and are fiercely committed to lifelong learning, questioning and critical thought. Check out Our Story »

Our Residents

Our inaugural Residents are all musicians – and fine ones at that. They make their living teaching others and performing themselves. Each of our Residents have contributed significantly to Aotearoa’s music scene and we’re honoured to have them with us. Meet Our Residents »

Our Precincts

We realised early on how hard it is to find good spaces to educate and create in central Auckland. One thing Ockham’s good at is creating beautiful spaces. One of the most meaningful and enduring ways we give back to the individuals and groups that enrich our community is hold these spaces for them to grow. See Our Precincts »
