MADE is an architecture & design practice focused on the design of healthy human spaces. We work with public and private sector clients who are intent on creating socially and environmentally responsible built environments of the future. Led by Director & Registered Architect, Dan McNelis, bringing twenty years of industry experience and leadership roles at leading Aotearoa practices. MADE was founded to focus on the clients and projects that matter most, with wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Our experience spans a broad range of sectors and scales; from private homes, multi-unit residential, retirement, healthcare, hospitality, and community buildings. 

ARCHITECTURE

We provide full architecture services from feasibility through to completion, guiding projects with clarity, creativity, and care at every stage. We create designs that are tested, refined, and realised through documentation, consents, and construction. Our hands-on approach ensures we remain actively engaged, coordinating consultants, and ensuring the built outcome reflects the best project result.

DESIGN

Design at MADE operates from the street to your seat. Our services span masterplanning, urban design, interiors, and environmental sustainability; considered together rather than in isolation. Whether shaping a precinct vision or curating an interior material palette, our approach is integrative and holistic; because great design shapes how people move, feel, and connect.

EXECUTION

MADE’s execution services bridge the gap between vision and delivery. We offer project strategy, development advisory, BIM services, peer review, stakeholder engagement, with a unique specialism in Offsite Manufacturing. MADE bring's strategic clarity and specialist knowledge to ensure projects are strategically sound, expertly delivered, and designed for outcomes; not just buildings.  

MADE is led by the belief that our built environment should promote health, happiness, and hope for the future.
