Our architectural design team

Matt Biddle - Director

Matt was brought up in Whangarei where his family owned and operated a supermarket, here he completed his schooling at Whangarei Boys
High School. From here he did his first year of Architectural Draughting at Whangarei Polytechnic. The second year saw Matt move to the Waikato Polytechnic where he finished his NZC in Architectural Draughting. The opportunity came available to work for Tri Panel Systems, in Huntly. After meeting Tracy in 1991 Matt had a chance to join a design team in Tauranga where he became a partner in the company and a small housing
business. Then realizing that he enjoyed the design concept more than the housing market, Tracy and Matt took over Residential Design in 1999.
Matt now has a fantastic team that he works with and still enjoys the challenge of creating new and innovating design.
