118 | The highest quality new builds The four-bedroom L-shaped home has a 216 sq. metre footprint and generous living and dining spaces. Kirbuild: West Melton T T Bernadette Cooney BUILDING A stunning new architecturally designed family home on a West Melton lifestyle block, featuring burnished charcoal exposed concrete floors, cathedral ceiling, and curved walls – is an impressive debut architectural build from Christchurch construction company, Kirbuild. Established in early 2023 by skilled, licensed builder Kirby Johnston, Kirbuild is gaining a name for high-quality bespoke new builds and residential renovations across Christchurch and Canterbury. An experienced builder of ten years, Kirby is grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities through the West Melton project. “It’s been a great build and has resulted in a beautiful north-facing home in the middle of the section with views of Mount Hutt.” The four-bedroom L-shaped home has a 216 sq. metre footprint and generous living and dining spaces which open onto a sundrenched deck. The design is the creation of architect Daniella Pizey. It’s a beautiful home and perfect for the owners who have two young daughters and wanted a functional legacy home for the long-term future. “The house has gable ends and cathedral ceiling with exposed steel portal in the living area,” says Kirby, “the interior has curved walls flowing into each wing of the house and there’s a French washed painted wall. It’s a gorgeous home and I think we’ve captured that in the build which is the first large architectural build for my company.” The exterior cladding is Dimond profile roofing iron which is reverse run on the walls. In addition, white slimline dart bricks supplied by Viblock, complete its smart modern look. The completion of the West Melton home has led to another, after showing a potential client through his build. “He was pretty blown away by what he saw so he is happy for me to build his house,” says Kirby. This is set to be a similar sprawling build at 260 squares with triple garaging, outdoor entertainment area, and landscaped swimming pool. “The house has gable ends and cathedral ceiling with exposed steel portal in the living area.” Kirbuild has also recently completed a classic small subdivision house. Specialising in architectural new builds, renovations, and additions, Kirbuild carries an impressive portfolio including transformational kitchen and bathroom renovations on homes of all ages. “We like to keep up the projects on our socials, so you’ll see examples of our work on Kirbuild Facebook and Instagram,” says Kirby. With sound working relationships with architects and trusted subcontractors, Kirbuild offers a full design and build service for new builds and extensive renovations. Keen to grow the company from its current two-man team, Kirby aims to increase the number of architectural new builds the company completes and cement their reputation for high-quality homes. “I want Kirbuild to be a company with a good reputation and to win medals for the houses built. Make it the best I can make it, really is the whole approach.” Kirbuild is on the path to doing just that with glowing customer testimonials, describing Kirby and his building partner as having “great attention to detail and problem-solving skills which ensured quality workmanship and top-notch results.” Clients highly recommend Kirbuild who they said exemplified commitment to the project’s success and the client’s return on investment.
