New Homes: JBH Showhome - Wairoa Valley

This modern, pavilion-style ICF home is the latest collaboration between Creative Space & JBH Builders. Two distinct bedroom wings are bisected by a large living zone that offers a seamless connection between spaces and to the outside.

Large format joinery units and high ceilings will provide volume and light. With a material palette featuring timber and stone this house will be solidly connected to its natural surroundings.

The combination of the ICF and the use of strong horizontal and vertical planes will impart a bold effect - this house will stand the test of time.

Concept Designs: Compact Ohauiti Home

This compact home concept design delivers on the criteria for this project - maximum space on a tight budget. With a mere 93m2 footprint we gave this client an extra 60m2 with the addition of a usable loft space resulting in a respectable 150m2 home.

As this home will be built on an elevated site in a rural environment, we have recommended an Insultated Concrete Form (ICF) structure to keep the home warm and comfortable on this highly exposed location where the winter weather can be particularly cold and bitter.

Knowledge: BIM 3D Modelling

We now provide BIM 3D models with every concept design we produce. While our clients enjoy the fun of interacting with their dream design and simulating walk-throughs, the advantages of this service are much deeper than a pretty video.

The BIM 3D models provides both our designers and our clients that next level of confidence and knowledge that they know exactly what they are getting when they finally do build their home. The awesome interactive nature of this 3D experience, allows viewers to fully understand the flow of their home, layout & positioning of spaces and other details which are often overlooked in flat, 2D designs.

This means our concepts are as close to accurate as possible when they are approved through to Preliminary Design resulting in a more efficient process, less extra costs (for revisions & refinements) and a more successful result overall.
