Creating Spaces for Life.
Is there a difference between a house and a home? My guest and award-winning architect, Lisa Day from Donnellday Architecture, is emphatic there is. Renowned for bringing beautiful spaces to life, Lisa infuses warmth and understanding into her designs that take on the heart and soul of the people destined to live in the spaces she creates.
Lisa has a gorgeous aesthetic that is as professional and innovative as it is intuitive. Space is not something to just walk through, after all. It’s a place in which you exist, live, and love. “We want people to feel at home, so we design places for life.”
Lisa is very approachable and knowledgeable about building spaces for life and living. Mixing family and business is a challenge for many of us these days, and Lisa is no exception. DonnellDay architecture is a firm that has grown and evolved alongside her family. With her husband Scott also in the firm, it’s a true family affair.
Check out Lisa’s beautiful website at www.donnellday.co.nz to see the variety and scope this architecture firm is capable of.
Does anyone else love Pinterest as much as I do? Asking Lisa how she gets her clients started on the design journey, I imagine she uses Pinterest. She does, to make sure they are all on the same wavelength, but not to define the process.
Lisa said that Pinterest pictures are about 2 years behind where she is designing from. Architects are creating future trends. Innovating materials, textures, and colours, Lisa constantly evolves her ideas and her client’s expectations. Can you imagine doing that while trying to stay on budget? The temptation would be too great! I’d definitely need someone to help edit my ideas.
If you want a house that takes you into account and flows intuitively with you as you live, contact Lisa and her team at www.donnellday.co.nz. They will guide you through the design process and the myriad of detail needed to bring your dreams to life.
It was a pleasure spending time with you Lisa, on Remarkable Women Radio.
