Basic
Hay designed a significant number of reinforced concrete structures for the new town in line with principles of earthquake-resistant construction. His designs are distinguished from contemporary commercial buildings mainly by their exterior stylistic allusions.Hay`s designs reflected his personal enthusiasm for English Arts and Crafts interior fittings and leadlight windows that alluded to Louis Comfort Tiffany and European Art Nouveau. The impact of the California bungalow-style and Hay`s fascination with the work of Frank Lloyd Wright became evident by 1915 in his design for Otatara at Taradale. The quality of his work soon brought him wide recognition.
