T T Russell Fredric Two outstanding builds in Wanaka Based in Wanaka, Archi Build Ltd is gaining a reputation as a trusted key partner in high-end architectural builds that demand the highest level of skill and commitment. Interiors liaison Kelly Dupont says her husband Tom and their team of 20 builders love the challenge that bespoke builds offer, however the design of a house depends solely on their clients’ needs and budget. “So much is dictated by the client and what they’re wanting to achieve, so we are very open to looking at any project and assisting anyone in what they are wanting to create.” Archi Build’s team combines many years experience and knowledge and strives to make the building process an enjoyable and rewarding journey for every client. “We employ experienced and passionate staff who understand what the end goal is.” “The suppliers and subcontractors that we use are the best and we ensure the quality of their work is consistent with ours. It is essential that the Archi Build team and our subcontractors work well together, as building amazing homes is very much a team effort.” Kelly acknowledges there can be an element of anxiety for clients because, for most, building a home is the single largest investment they will ever make. Archi Build can offer various contracts to suit a client’s needs and these include, but are not limited to, charge-up or fixed price which is a requirement of some banks and project managers. During the time Archi Build has been operating, it has completed a wide variety of residential and commercial projects while working with an equally eclectic mix of architects. The company is currently undertaking two outstanding builds for Johnston Architects in Wanaka. One is a generous 560 square metre highend contemporary home designed for a family and will be beautifully integrated into the landscape. One section has a lower level bunker and guest suite that fits snugly into the terrain while the home’s living spaces are encapsulated between large expanses of glazing that open out to the views beyond. The other house is especially unique with a stunning feature on one wing being a ‘floating’ roof which is elevated above the walls, with glazing between the roof and walls. At night, the angular design of the origami-shaped patterns on the underside of the roof creates a lantern effect from subtle uplighting. “It’s incredibly intricate, unique and architecturally brilliant. It’s just an absolute wow-factor.” The home is clad in local stone which was selected for its low maintenance requirements and will weather and age gracefully over time. Large triple-glazed sliding doors provide seamless connections to the outdoor terraces and landscaped site. Archi Build were selected to construct this home based on their proven track record and ability to deliver new homes that incorporate high performance construction systems and to the achieve the stringent build quality demanded. Kelly and Tom were delighted when the build was confirmed after working with the client to meet their budget expectations. “We were excited when the concept and the plans were presented because it is unique. We haven’t built or seen anything like it here, it will be an incredible build to work on.” “I think the end result will be something everyone can be so proud of.” sam@apexwanaka.co.nz 021 147 9822 www.apexwanaka.co.nz APEX Contracting Apex Contracting Wanaka are specialists in asphalt and chip seal driveways and house foundations in Wanaka and Southern Lakes region; we value locals & local business.
