It's small but it's pretty... at 32sqm the 'Mackenzie' is our take on a home's fundamentals; walls and a roof, warmth, comfort and durability. A place to sleep, to wash, to cook and to relax. Coming from our Solid Timber range, it inherently comes with all the same benefits; being naturally warm with a stable internal temperature (because timber stores and releases heat), being healthy (because timber 'breathes' which regulates humidity, so the air stays dry), low maintenance (built with a single material, so virtually zero maintenance), earthquake proof (because of our interlocking timber system) and generally just feeling super cosy and creating sense of relaxation, because that's what timber homes do.
Our timber was grown in New Zealand forests which are replanted after harvest. That is to say, it's an environmentally responsible means of building. On completion, the 'Mackenzie' is actually carbon negative in contrast to homes using modern building materials, which are a major contributor to global warming.
The 'Mackenzie' pictured here is our show home. It's in Christchurch at our head office. 1200 Main North Road. Our 'Manapouri' show home (a larger, pavilion style log home) is on the same location.

Monni Fraemohs arrived in New Zealand from Denmark with a passion for Danish design and quality. He was inspired by New Zealand’s natural environment and plentiful exotic timber, and in 1968 he started Fraemohs Homes with a vision to share his passions, and to create homes Kiwis would love.
More than five decades, and thousands of houses both locally and internationally later, we still manufacture the timber for our homes from the same Christchurch site we always have. And while Monni has moved on, Fraemohs Homes remains locally owned and true to Monni’s founding principles; excellence in design, quality, and most importantly helping our customers to love where they live.
Our kitset homes are available nationwide and internationally. Our franchises provide a full design and build service across Canterbury, Otago, Tasman/Marlborough, the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Wellington. We also have a range of transportable homes built with sustainably grown New Zealand timber.
Fraemohs Homes is a registered Master Builder, and offers a Master Build Guarantee with every home we build.
