Michael Smith Email & Phone Number

I have experience across a range of sectors including health, hospitality, education, heritage and high-end residential. I have developed a reputation for delivering complex projects and as such have been tasked with being the project architect for Taranaki Base Hospital Stage 2 – New Zealand’s first public healthcare project to target 5-star certification.To every project I bring communication, financial and management skills while demonstrating strong strategic thinking. I can connect with and lead teams and am a capable architect who clients respect and enjoy working with. I have a grounded understanding of BIM and associated processes and I am always looking to work smarter, using all tools available.Sustainability is important to me, and this is reflected through my multiple accreditations that demonstrate my commitment to professional development - Accredited Homestar Practitioner, Homefit Assessor and Green Star Accredited Professional.I am a registered architect and I am currently the NZIA Canterbury Branch Director. I am keen to support the development of others and have led architectural registration seminars over several years alongside technical skillshare sessions for multiple studios.
