Built on top of a bush covered steep ridgeline with 360 degree views of coastline and forest, the owner’s main priority was to have a garage large enough to house his helicopter. The garage, therefore, was the first structure to be completed with a ceiling height of 5m. This was to come in handy for us, as the builders, to shelter from the extreme weather conditions we were exposed to throughout this build. The design of this architectural home had to allow for the strong winds and exposure to the elements that building on the apex of a hill brings. There were 6 different exterior claddings used on this home and many design elements that were challenging and created a unique, stunning home that met and surpassed in some areas the owners expectations

“I just wanted to send you a note to say how happy we are with our new house. It is well beyond our expectations. We're so pleased and relieved we decided to get you to build it for us as we've heard countless horror stories from friends about their bad experiences with some totally unprofessional builders and we've got only good things to say about our own experience with you. We really appreciated all the input you gave us from the overall design all the way through right down to the finishing touches - thanks so much for our stylish letterbox too - best-looking letterbox in the whole neighbourhood! Above all we really enjoyed your integrity on the job - when you said the roof was going to be on by Friday, that's when it happened, and we came to expect things to go smoothly with you - something which we hear is definitely not the story in a lot of cases. As you know we had heard that you were a great builder through the grapevine and we just wanted to let you know that we will be passing on that sentiment to our friends now as well, so we wish you all the very best for your future and thank you again for helping to build ours.”
