Matt Day Architect
About us
Matt Day Architects was established in 2007, under the direction of architect Matt Day, NSW architects registration No.
7748.
We are a small design-based studio located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
The practice specialises in creating high quality low-energy homes and small public buildings that are highly connected to nature, for people who appreciate :
Simplicity, Craftsmanship, and Innovation
Our Approach
At Matt Day Architects, all of our work is informed by six practice values:
Environment & Legacy
Creativity & Knowledge
Humility & Simplicity.
These values underpin our guiding principles, which provide a solid foundation for every design and building decision we make with our clients.
Environment & Legacy
Our buildings connect people, environment and community, and foster a spirit of belonging.
We relish ecologically sustainable design challenges and constantly strive to reduce our impact on the planet, throughout the construction and operational stages of each project.
As a result, each building ages gracefully and creates a backdrop for lives rich with meaning.
Creativity & Knowledge
We integrate imagination and knowledge to design inspired and intelligent solutions.
We combine poetic and pragmatic solutions to produce spaces that are innately functional, intrinsically comfortable and always delightful.
Across each day, season, and generation, our buildings adapt and endure.
Humility & Simplicity
We create low-energy homes that are highly connected to nature, for people who appreciate simplicity and craftsmanship.
Starting with honest and simple materials – and respecting existing structures and fabric – we collaborate with skilled builders and craftspeople to infuse magic into every detail.
Imbued with intention, our spaces provide elevated experiences, every day.
