NEIL WAKEFIELD
Combining practical experience of the built environment and through knowledge of compliance documentation Neil can focus on design principals ensuring neither form nor function are compromised. Since studying architecture at Unitec Auckland Neil has been influenced over 20 years by his experience locally and internationally. TPG Architecture London projects included Doubleclick, Go
ldman Sachs, H&M Clothing and Gucci. Returning from London to live in Queenstown John Blair Architect provided mentorship for over 5 yrs. Neil worked on award wining multimillion dollar residential & winery projects before setting up his own practice and designing over 100 homes including his own. A break from the industry involved managing a ski field and site supervision on a Disney film before more overseas travel. Returning to Auckland in 2010 and working for a small architectural firm specialising in character renovations has ensured a wealth of diverse architectural design experience from small residential dwellings to very large construction projects. His philophsy is that it’s not the materials that make a home its the ideas and the clients working in collaboration.
