About Design by Williams
Design by Williams
Was born from the success of Williams Corporation, one of New Zealand’s most active residential developers. Originally established to serve the in-house needs of Williams Corporation, our team played a pivotal role in delivering thousands of high-quality multi-unit developments across the country. As the company’s capability, experience, and design systems matured, so too did the opportunity to share that expertise with others.
Today, Design by Williams operates as its own independent architectural design entity — offering the same proven methods, insights, and efficiencies that have underpinned the success of Williams Corporation. We specialize in high-performance multi-unit developments, with a focus on smart density, cost-effective design, and streamlined delivery. Whether you're a developer, builder, or investor, Design by Williams gives you access to the systems and thinking that have delivered real results.
