By Day Architects
A heritage villa shop, located on Main Street in Greytown, required a Resource consent and a careful design that was in sympathy with the existing street fabric. We discussed different options with the owner and developed a scheme that was sensitive to the heritage pattern of parapets and verandahs along the street and also the proportions of the existing building. Separation between the old villa and new extension allow the new to be defined from the old. After positive discussions with the community heritage board, and a successful resource consent, the completed building is now an integral part of Greytown.

We create homes not houses. A home is where you feel most comfortable. Where you rest, live and laugh. Where you grow, celebrate and make memories. Our approach is to understand what home means to you and bring that space to life. At Day Architects, we design spaces for living. Architecture that connects you and your family to the community and environment around you. We do this with appreciation and understanding of your dreams, your lifestyle and your budget.
We believe great architecture should be accessible and designed for everyday life. Our strength lies in creating sustainable site-specific homes and bespoke renovations that frame your way of life and give families room to grow. We also design community projects, residential new builds, alterations, customised interiors, from both small to large commercial and residential projects.
We take client care seriously, and are there throughout your project to bring your dreams to reality. Working with us is a truly collaborative experience. Understanding our clients and their objectives is a very important part of the process and is fundamental to what we do. That’s why we place a high emphasis on listening, asking the right questions and enjoying quality discussion, to advance your goals and ultimately design architecture that truly fits your life.
