80 | JOINERY The Custom Space T T Alexia Anderson Creating ‘beautiful, welcoming spaces’ Every project begins with detailed consultation to understand how clients live and how they want their space to feel. Nelson-based company The Custom Space is gaining a reputation for crafting bespoke joinery across residential and commercial projects throughout the top of the South Island. Family-owned and operated, The Custom Space was established with a simple aim: to create beautiful, thoughtfully designed joinery for local homes. Led by Managing Director Jack Wells, who brings more than 18 years of industry experience and a lifelong passion for craftsmanship, the business has grown steadily and now operates with a team of about 22 people. Designers, joiners, installers, spray painters, machinists, programmers, and project specialists all work under one roof, ensuring a seamless workflow from concept to installation. Business co-owner Meg Wells says growth has been steady and organic, which was driven by quality, word of mouth, and trust. Key milestones include expanding the workshop to meet demand, investing in precision machinery and advanced design technology, and building long-standing partnerships with clients, builders, architects, and designers across the region. “Our work ranges from full home fit-outs and heritage renovations to commercial projects.” says Meg. The business is known for its collaborative approach, working closely with construction partners to ensure each element aligns with the wider design process. The result is installation that runs smoothly and efficiently, a crucial factor in fast-moving building environments. “For us, great joinery is more than cabinetry. It’s the feeling of stepping into a space that makes everyday living easier, calmer, and more beautiful.” That philosophy shapes everything the team produces. They design with emotion in mind, crafting spaces that feel welcoming, grounded, and deeply personal to the people who live in them. Every project begins with detailed consultation to understand how clients live and how they want their space to feel. The design team then produces concept drawings, 3D visuals, and material selections before manufacturing all components inhouse at the Nelson workshop. Installation is also handled internally, giving the team complete control over quality and finish from start to end. While demand remains high, The Custom Space is careful not to overload its schedule, ensuring every project receives the time and attention it deserves. Efficiency comes from process and planning, and they’d rather take on fewer jobs and deliver them exceptionally than compromise quality for volume. Craftsmanship and technology work hand in hand. Skilled joiners remain at the heart of the workshop, supported by advanced machinery and software that elevate precision and consistency. It’s that balance of human skill and modern innovation that continues to set their work apart. Sustainability also plays a key role. For the team, the most sustainable joinery is the kind that doesn’t need replacing.
