70 | Husk Design + Draft / Adam Newton Homes: T T Karen Phelps Holiday home project ticks all the boxes The open plan kitchen/dining/living area with a raking ceiling in plywood with exposed joints and corner angled window that looks out to lake with bench seat. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN A transportable holiday home project jointly delivered by Adam Newton Homes and Husk Design + Draft showcases the possibilities of these types of home builds. Located in Kingston, the client was two couples and the aim was to deliver a cost-effective design but one that achieved a higher spec than might be the norm in a transportable home build. Josh Scott, director of Husk Design + Draft says the site itself had a drop of six to eight metres, which meant a timber subfloor on piles was a good choice to help make the most of the views of Lake Wakatipu. Around 157sqm the home comprises five bedrooms and three bathrooms through smart use of space. It includes a master bedroom with ensuite facing the lake for each couple and two double bedrooms with a bathroom between. The bathroom is cleverly split into three rooms so that the shower, toilet and vanity can all be utilised at the same time. There is also a living area and a large bunkroom for the kids. At other end of house is the open plan kitchen/dining/living area with a raking ceiling in plywood with exposed joints and corner angled window that looks out to lake with bench seat. A large deck wraps around the north and west side of the living area with stacker door. The home is clad in COLORSTEEL with Weathertex used as a feature making the home low maintenance. The project was built in Adam Newton Homes’ yard in Mataura then transported to site. Adam says that it was finished to a closed in state then the clients – who included a builder and an electrician - fitted out the inside themselves over the summer. Transportable homes are a new venture for Adam Newton Homes after Adam identified a gap in the market and a trend towards building smaller homes. He offers five plans but also caters to a custom build to get the outcome the client is after as in the Kingston holiday home project. “We basically offer a tailored package,” says Adam. “We work in with the clients to deliver the best and most cost effective solution and offer a great deal of flexibility. We’re prepared to work with people to make their dreams happen.” The set of predesigned plans can be used as-is or provide inspiration. They have high ceilings of 2.55m as standard, large window, designer kitchens and tiled showers but Adam also offers the ability to scale back to suit the client’s specific budget. He says the advantages of a transportable build are mainly for remote locations. “You’re not paying people to travel to site each day and everything is streamlined and central by building at our yard. It also means little disruption from a build, which is also great if you are perhaps wanting to build a home on the back of an existing property where you are living. “We can deliver up to Central Otago and Mackenzie Country and anywhere in Southland.” Adam Newton Homes also builds new homes on site and renovation projects such as new kitchens, bathrooms etc. Josh from Husk Design + Draft and Adam have known each other for many years and often combine their talents to deliver successful results for clients. Based in Invercargill Husk Design + Draft Ltd offers residential architectural design and drafting services to clients across the lower South Island. “They are great builders to work with and it’s a very collaborative process,” says Josh. “We have established a really good working relationship and have delivered some stunning projects together and look forward to delivering many more.” Talk to us today, the feature profile experts Phone: 03 983 5500 waterfordpress.co.nz PROFILE YOUR PROJECT... • New Roof • Re Roof • Spouting • Fascia • Membrane Southland and Otago 021 582 444 hain.sinclairroofing@gmail.com PRESTON PRE-CUT LTD MANUFACTURERS OF ROOF TRUSSES AND WALL FRAMES Ph: 03 218 3647 • Brent Cell: 0274 15 1963 30 Mersey St, Invercargill • Email: prestonprecuts@xtra.co.nz • Prenail Frames • Roof Trusses • Loose Timber NZO SG • Claw Beams • Laminated and LVL Timbers Suppliers of:
