Greg is an award winning architect, and has been involved in over 20 award winning NZIA and ADNZ projects.  Greg established Young Architects (initially Life Style Architecture) in 2003 as a progression of his design career, after leaving one of New Zealand’s most prominent architectural firms.

Throughout his career, Greg has gained experience in every aspect of the architectural industry, from structural and architectural draughting, steelwork and concrete fabrication detailing, 3D modelling, and design. He has worked on industrial, residential and commercial projects ranging from small baches to multi-million dollar homes.  This work has included a full range of architectural genres included Gothic Revival, Arts and Crafts, and Modernism.  Greg has also been involved in some prominent civic projects, including the New Zealand Parliament Buildings, and the Christchurch Town Hall.

Greg's experience has given him a thorough understanding of the "why" of architecture, as well as the "how".
