Jonathan Smith

In 2003 Jonathan registered as an Architect and began his own practice, Bellingham Architects, operating under the basic philosophy of prioritizing relationships and processes within all projects. Carefully developing his practice in this manner gained appreciation from both clients and the NZIA, through referrals and a number of awards.

In many respects the most satisfying moment during any of the projects completed by Jonathan was sitting down with clients within their realized construction.

After working as a sole practitioner for many years Jonathan met two colleagues whom shared similar ideals regarding our industry. These professional relationships became matter.

Jonathan is interested in the architecture of requirement and the quality of space this is able to produce.

William Taylor

With invaluable experience gained in both N.Z and overseas, William continues to grow his diverse range of skills in residential and commercial projects.

In 2007 William established his own company, Taylored Architecture, growing new working relationships and opportunities within the construction industry.

Defining the practice through consistent attentiveness and enthusiasm towards a collaborative approach, ambitions to understand

and create holistically have continued to deliver positive results.

This has now led to an exciting future called matter.

William shares with matter experience in medium to large-scale projects and continues to pursue his passion at all scales.

Adrian McNaught

Starting in a contractors architects office in 1989, and studying at the Leicester and Birmingham Schools of Architecture, Adrian (or Mac to everyone), became a UK Registered Architect in 1997.

Arriving in New Zealand via Hong Kong in 1999, and starting mcnaughtarchitecture in 2002, Adrian became an NZ Registered Architect.

In matter, Adrian is combining with like minded, but unique peers.

Experienced in commercial and retail architecture in the UK, homes, both large and small, have extended Adrian’s expertise in New Zealand.

He is currently exploring low cost off-grid housing, remote accommodation, and sub-aqua art. If he’s not in the office, he’s somewhere on the mountain…..
