After 15 years in the industry, Dwelling Architectural Design began in 2012 with a desire to be more involved with clients in the whole design process, from 3D conceptual stage all the way through to contract administration, ensuring that what was designed is what gets built.
My philosophies are as follows:-
+ Design & Sustainability - Design needs to be tailored for the site, be individual, and relevant to the client. It needs to be scaled correctly, minimising wastage. Materials should be selected with consciousness of their origin and availability.
+ Thoroughness - In design and documentation. This allows the client to be certain about what they are getting and provides clarity for the contractor in pricing.
+ Teamwork - During contract administration, I believe in working together towards a common goal. The client, contractor, designer and consultants are on the same team, together working out solutions for the benefit of the client.
+ Enjoyment - Creating and building is to be enjoyed by all parties, from the client to the sub-contractor.

Worked with pro
I worked with Dwelling Architecture on a split level residence on a sloping section comprising of various material from stack bond concrete block, shadow clad ply and profiled metal cladding.
Feature work with acoustic melamine ceiling and another wall in the stairwell set this house apart with negative details breaking it up.
I found the plans easy to read with numerous detail and cross sections.
Dwelling architecture were great to work with and there was no problem with any part of the design not being able to be carried out on site.
They were easy to approach and quickly resolved any questions posed to them.
I would highly recommend Cameron and his team and look forward to working with him more in the future

Cameron designed our first new home for us around four years ago. From the first meeting we found Cameron to be professional, a good listener and very personable. He was throughout the project extremely passionate, thorough and focused on achieving a great result. He was respectful and accommodating of our input. His attention to detail was second to none. The house plan details were so impressive. Our builder commented that he has always liked building from Cameron's plans for this reason. We are absolutely delighted with our new home and appreciate Cameron's part in it. We would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Cameron Grindlay at Dwelling Architectural Design prepared plans for our two storey house renovation which has just recently been completed. Cameron provided us with a set of concept plans that accurately reflected what we asked for in the project brief, followed by a comprehensive set of plans for building consent and provided ongoing project management support for the build. He was fantastic to deal with and has provided a very high standard of architectural design throughout the process.

Cameron of Dwellling Architectural Design was great to deal with; always professional and attentive. We had no real idea of how we wanted our house to look, but had a list of practical needs and wants; Cameron designed us an amazing house that was beyond our dreams.
We've been in our new home for just over a year now and we love it. We still can't believe it is our house! It has so many interesting angles, colours and features and is very comfortable for our family to live in.
Also, the energy saving options which were incorporated have cut our heating and power bills to less than a third that of our previous, smaller house.
We highly recommend Cameron and Dwelling Architectural Design.

Cameron designed a new home for us. He engaged other professionals to work with on structural elements to make this a seamless process. He was extremely easy to deal with and listened to what we wanted and converted our ideas into a beautiful and functional home that met our requirements. He understood that a plan does not always convert to a vision for most people and provided 3D images to help with our discussions and explain many of the detailed features included. During the course of the build any idea changes that we thought of were welcomed for discussion and he worked well with the builder to incorporate these into our original plan and have our home completed within a very reasonable timeframe.
