T T from page 119 J Squared Building BUILDING “They were pretty keen to go with us because of the way we do still everything and control the quality and the rest of a build.” Located on an elevated rural site overlooking the Hokonui Hills and Waimea Valley just north of Gore, it has a generous footprint of 300sqm and is being built for a retired couple, who need space for extended family. It comprises three, high-pitched gabled pavilions for the living areas and a two-car garage, which surrounds a low-pitched space that links them together. “The main pavilion has a kitchen with a pantry off the side, then you go into your dining and living where the fire is; it’s one big room really.” “It has been very enjoyable and the owners are incredible people; they are understanding and they want quality. This is their retirement home.” Started late November last year, it is expected to be completed this November. As J-Squared’s first new-house build, this home and the gymnasium represent a milestone in the business’ history. “I’ve built a lot of new homes before, but as a company it’s always exciting for us to build our first one, and such a good-quality home too.” The gymnasium has a ground-floor footprint of 500sqm, plus a second floor with several offices to provide the option of tenancies, and is an XL Structures steel portal building. XL Structures built the key structural elements while J-Squared built the concrete floor, internal linings and completed the fit-out. It has a panelled roof with a fire retardant PIR core and the cladding on three walls is corrugated Colorsteel, but aesthetically pleasing cedar and Exotec façade panel was chosen for the street-facing front wall. J-Squared Building has recently started a large renovation near Riversdale in Northern Southland, which involves the addition of a new kitchen and dining area along with gutting and reconfiguring the house that will include a new master bedroom with ensuite and new bathrooms. • New Roof • Re Roof • Spouting • Fascia • Membrane Southland and Otago 021 582 444 hain.sinclairroofing@gmail.com Gore: (03) 208 6750 - 18 Gorton St Cromwell: (03) 445 4000 - 54 McNulty Rd Dunedin: (03) 244 8271 - 19b Portsmouth Dr Wanaka: 21 Reece Cr A I T K E N J O I N E R Y Suppliers of Vantage Aluminium & Klima UPVC Windows and Doors www. a i t ken j o i ner y. co. nz
