Buildings and spaces that are simple, functional and are both sensitive and responsive to their environment and their users.

John Dymond Projects is a sole-practitioner architect’s studio/workshop based in Grey Lynn Auckland that specialises in small projects with a focus on affordable housing, the rehabilitation of existing residential dwellings and the adaptive reuse of small, historic, commercial buildings.

  • Design, at its essence, is about creating spaces that resonate with the people who use them.

    In my practice, design is a collaborative journey with clients to explore, refine, and perfect concepts. Each project evolves dynamically, leading to unique discoveries.

    While John Dymond Projects is a full-service practice managing projects from Concept Design to Practical Completion and Code of Compliance, I recognize that any construction project is a major commitment of time and money. To help you start planning your vision, I offer preliminary services: a Half-Day Site Survey, and a Full-Day Site Survey.
