Day joined Austin-Smith:Lord in 2024, working part time alongside his MArch studies, before moving on to a full time Part II role in 2026. Day graduated with a distinction, with his final university project winning 4 awards, including the RIBA Dissertation nomination.

With a passion for 3D modelling, BIM, illustration, and graphic communication, Day brings creative depth to design development. His route into architecture began hands-on as a bricklayer’s labourer which sparked a lasting curiosity for how buildings work.

Day is committed to sustainable design, particularly timber construction, Passivhaus principles, biomimicry, and biophilic design. He values collaboration and continuous learning, aligning with the practice’s ethos of knowledge sharing and life-long development.
