Neil Morie has a broad range of experience including custom residential, multi-family housing, commercial, institutional, hotel and resort masterplanning.

All projects are site specific and strive to integrate building with landscape or context. The work is sensitive to views and orientation, daylighting and micro-climate of the site. Where possible green building principles are encouraged via passive solar, mechanical systems and environmentally sensitive materials.

Local materials such as timber post and beam and sandstone are used to foster a sense of place.

The client program and lifestyle are integral and the design is seen as a collaborative process.
