Summer is coming and we've been doing a lot more integrated outdoor spaces as part of our projects lately.
This one is nice and simple, with a well sized deck, a louvre system above and a focal point fireplace opposite the kitchen servery window.
Perfect for relaxed Marlborough evenings as the days get longer!

Pleased to share this upcoming project in the stunning Waihopai Valley for a great local family.

It's been a great collaboration with the clients and other industry professionals to come up with a two stage approach for them.
This first two bedroom block is in for consenting now, with a future master suite, additional living space and double garage allowed for in the design.

Looking to Downsize? Or maybe just have less maintenance?

This bespoke modern 3 bedroom, 2 bath home will be under construction soon.
Tucked away on a quiet rear section just a few steps from the Taylor River reserve, this will be a great home for someone looking for a relaxed and low input property.

Built by Sam and the team at Marlborough Building Services, get in touch if this gem is of interest.

Nice to change things up with this poolhouse project. Also enjoying dabbling in AI assistance, particularly with renders like this.

Granny flats building consent exemption becomes law today!

A new granny flat can now be built without a building consent if:

it is a single-storey, standalone dwelling
it is no bigger than 70 square metres
it has a simple design and meets the Building Code
all exemption conditions are met
the work is done or supervised by licensed building professionals (LBPs, plumbers, drainlayers, gasfitters, electrical workers), as it is restricted building work.

Homeowners MUST get a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) from their council before building work starts. When the build is finished, they must tell the council by providing documents like final plans, Records of Work, and certificates of compliance.

If you are interested in a granny flat build, or are unsure whether any building work needs a building consent, I am here to help.

What a view!
Really excited to see this build come together at the ridge for some amazing (and patient) clients.

It'll be great to see the house come together on this tricky site. It's definitely designed to maximize these views!

Who loves a Mullet House?
Formal Villa out front & a modern entertainers dream to the back.

Here's a render showing what's to come from the team at Black Stag Build Group at the Furness Villa on Maxwell Road.
This will be a bold, modern extension with contrasting form to the existing villa, but will use materials that help blend the two together.
