Young Architects
About us
Young Architects is a New Zealand based design studio.
Established in 2003 by Greg Young, their work is predominantly homes in the coastal hills of Christchurch, but they also work throughout the South Pacific, and further afield in North America and Asia.
Young Architects focus is on designing buildings that are appropriate for their environment, have a classic aesthetic, and are cost effective to construct. Preferred mediums are natural palettes, predominantly in timber.
Greg is an architect member of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, and a professional member of Architectural Designers New Zealand, and has been involved in award winning projects for both organisations.
